Chapter 289 Old Collection of the Qing Palace (seeking a monthly pass)(1/2)

If you don’t wallow, you won’t be given a monthly pass. I’m rolling in the mud pool today and I’m asking for a monthly pass. Will you give me a monthly pass?

After Han Kongque carefully burned a stick of incense, he stood up and said: "Manager Li, I am a martial arts practitioner and a Buddhist believer, and my family really lacks such a Dharma Protector Vajra.

Originally, I wanted to buy one on the antique street, but now that I have met this one, I feel that I am destined to have a connection with Gushyas Vajra, so I might as well transfer this Vajra to me, the price is easy to negotiate."

Han Kongque said it very directly. Such a thing is very abrupt in itself. If it is made in a roundabout way, it will be even more suspicious.

"It's really unsightly to place this Buddha statue here. Mr. Han will move it if he likes it," Li Yunjun said.

Han Kongque showed joy on his face and said: "This Vajra is really destined for me. I don't want it from you in vain. Let's exchange it. I happen to have a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva at home and put it in your shop."

It’s just right inside.”

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is now very popular among people in the world, especially real estate developers, who usually worship Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva because Tibet is a treasure and has such a good meaning, so of course it is sought after by people.

The explanation of Buddhism and the name of Ksitigarbha is that every one of us is endowed with infinite wisdom and immeasurable virtue. This is the meaning of Ksitigarbha.

Therefore, enshrining the images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas is to develop the treasures of our own nature, and in the minds of real estate developers, it means that real estate contains great treasures. This meaning is really good, so Ksitigarbha became popular.

Hearing that Han Kongque wanted to exchange it for a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Li Yunjun immediately said happily: "That's the best, let's exchange it now!"

Although he does not believe in Buddhism, the company boss asked every store to offer it, so he had to offer it.

Although they don’t know much about the details behind this, it is natural for them to offer real estate to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Even if there is no Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, worshiping a God of Wealth or Guanyin will be more acceptable to the customers who see it.

As for this King Kong statue of a man and a woman entangled together, let’s forget it. I didn’t know it when I saw it, and thought they were enshrining the Buddha statue of Huan and Xi in their store!

Han Peacock hesitated for a moment and said: "This Gushyajal Vajra should belong to your company, right? If you exchange it for me like this, there won't be any problems, right?"

"It's okay. Our company just handed it over and left it alone. The company manager at the time also said that if we wanted to, we could pay for a replacement. However, we are only a small branch and we don't have the financial resources to replace it. So we have been putting it off until now.

." Li Yunjun said.

Looking at Han Peacock, he was still a little embarrassed. Li Yunjun immediately said: "If Mr. Han is afraid of trouble, we can sign an agreement! In this way, there will be no problem at all.

Han Kongque said: "Okay, this puts me at ease. You must know that I am very sincere in inviting this Gushyajal to go home. Any accidents must be avoided, otherwise it will have a great impact on me."

Seeing Han Peacock's serious look, Li Shuang knew that Han Peacock was trying to trick people.

Han Kongque took out his phone and called Fat Liu: "Brother Liu, go to my house and move the statue of Ksitigarbha, the golden Bodhisattva, to Changtong Real Estate Agency's store on the antique street. I'll wait here.

you."

After Han Kongque finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

Li Yunjun was a little dumbfounded. Originally, he wanted to wait until tomorrow to change it, but he didn't expect Mr. Han to be so anxious.

But the one who was even more dumbfounded at this time was Fat Liu. What was going on?

Fat Liu was holding his cell phone in a daze. Is there a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in Han Kongque’s house?

Of course, this is possible, after all, Fat Liu has not been to Han Kongque's house for a long time.

But why did Han Kongque ask him to send the Buddha statue to that store? This is quite strange.

She saw her husband answering a phone call and just sitting there in a daze. Her wife Bai Yu said: "What are you doing standing here stupidly? Is there an affair?"

"What kind of adultery is there?" Fat Liu said angrily.

Bai Yu said: "There is no best. If there is, see how I deal with you."

Fatty Liu said: "With my image, being able to marry a beautiful woman like you is a blessing I have earned in eight lifetimes. What do you think Han Kongque is going to do?"

Fat Liu told Bai Yu about the phone call just now. Bai Yu rolled his eyes at Fat Liu and said, "Are you from a family of antiques? I don't understand? I know from Bai Yi. Han Peacock has collected a lot of antiques recently.

When he says that to you, he is naturally asking you for help, so go buy him a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and send it to him. That’s right.”

"Please, when you buy a Buddha statue, you can't just say "buy". If you say "please", it looks like you are not a professional." Fat Liu knew what Han Kongque was thinking and immediately began to belittle his wife.

"Look at you, you are almost 40 years old and you are wearing so little. Who do you want to seduce? You are wearing so little and you don't want to go out with me." Fat Liu rushed out of the house after rushing to the man.

Seeing Fat Liu running away, Bai Yu could only stamp his feet angrily: "I'm only thirty-two years old, okay? I'm almost forty now? Are you a pig with a brain?"

"Mom, please stop calling my dad a pig-brained person, otherwise he will become a pig-brained person." A handsome little boy came out of the room after hearing the noise.

"Fortunately, you are not like your father. If you were like him, I really don't know how you would find a wife in a few years." Bai Yu said, squeezing his son's face.

Liu Yiduo said helplessly: "I look like my grandfather, so you don't have to worry."

"Yes, if you don't have too many skills, you must not be as ignorant as your father." Bai Yu said.

"If you look down on my dad so much? Why did you, a beautiful woman like you, get married?" Liu Yiduo, who is already nine years old, knows everything he should know and shouldn't know.

"You damn fat man can coax girls with his smooth tongue! You should learn from your father on this. Even if you can't marry a big beauty like me, I will be satisfied with a little beauty." Bai Yu said to himself.

.

Liu Yiduo was speechless.

Fat Liu walked out of his house, made a few calls to some of his friends, and soon found a golden Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

This was also the reason why Han Kongque came to Fat Liu. Although he didn't have much eyesight, he had a wide network of contacts. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Among his friends, only Fat Liu could quickly get a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

When they saw the shining golden Buddha statue in front of them, Li Yunjun and the agents in his store all came out to watch, and even some passers-by stopped to watch.

This Ksitigarbha statue is really exquisite, with its graceful shape, gorgeous decorations and radiating precious light. At first glance, it is taller than the white and blue Vajra statue. Their store should have a statue like this.

Both Buddha statues have bases, so they are easy to load and unload. When Han Kongque took out the transfer agreement that he always carried, Li Yunjun happily signed and agreed to the exchange.

After the signatures were signed and the Buddha statue was loaded into the car, Han Kongque breathed a sigh of relief.

Amid Li Yunjun's endless gratitude, Han Kongque and Li Shuang got into Fat Liu's Passat and left.

"I haven't seen you for so many years, and you've become even worse." Li Shuang squeezed behind the Passat and said sarcastically.

Fat Liu said: "Sister Li, when did you come back? Why didn't you say anything to us old friends?"

Fat Liu has set up a stall in front of Li Shuang's house for several years, so he naturally knows Li Shuang's family.

Li Shuang said: "I just came back, and I didn't expect to meet you two tonight."

"This shows that we are destined!" Fat Liu said with a smile.

"You are still so glib. But I will remember these words. When I meet your wife, I will tell you how we are destined." Li Shuang said with a smile.

Fat Liu quickly changed the subject: "We'll talk about this later, Xiao Han, what show are you acting in today? I paid a lot of money for that Ksitigarbha. If something happens, it will...

..”

"What kind of accident could happen? How much is it? I'll transfer it to you." Han Kongque said with a smile.

"I knew your boy would never suffer a loss. However, this time, that boy Wang Cheng made a lot of money. He actually wanted thirty thousand from me for that shining golden figure." Fat Liu said heartbrokenly.

Han Kongque said: "It's not much. I used 30,000 yuan to exchange for this compact statue of Vajra. It's already a big profit."

"When did this Buddha statue come from? How much is it worth?" Upon hearing Han Kongque's words, Fat Liu's eyes immediately lit up.

"I haven't looked carefully, but it's probably from the early Qing Dynasty. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the statue of Panchen Erdeni during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty." Han Kongque said.

"You knew it without looking carefully?" Li Shuang looked sideways at Han Peacock and said.

Han Kongque said: "I have seen a thangka from the Panchen Erdeni period during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The image of Vajra Gyashyla on that thangka is exactly the same as this one."

"Thangka?" Li Shuang obviously didn't know what thangka was.

Even Fat Liu was confused.

Han Peacock smiled and said: "Brother Liu, you don't know what thangka is, do you?"

“I really don’t know? Thangka is a novel painting art that emerged during the Songtsen Gampo period. It is a scroll painting framed with colored satin. Thangka has distinctive Tibetan national characteristics, rich religious color and unique art.

Style. It has always been regarded as a treasure by Tibetans.

Thangkas are similar to scroll paintings in Tibetan areas. They are mostly painted on cloth or paper, and then sewn and framed with silk and satin. The upper horizontal axis has a string for easy hanging. Both ends of the lower axis are decorated with exquisite axle heads.

The picture is covered with thin silk and double ribbons. After a Thangka painting related to Buddhism is framed, a lama is usually asked to recite sutras and blessings, and the lama's gold or cinnabar handprint is stamped on the back.

There are also a very small amount of tapestry, embroidery and pearl thangkas. The drawing of the thangkas is extremely complicated and the materials used are extremely sophisticated. The pigments are all natural mineral and plant raw materials. The colors are bright and durable, and have a strong snowy style."

The Thangka that Han Kongque was talking about is the Ginsula Vajrasattva Thangka, which was presented to Qianlong by the Tibetan Panchen Lama in the 18th century. It is 122cm high, 76cm wide, with a center length of 64cm and a width of 44cm. It belonged to the collection of the Qing Palace and is now in the collection.

In the Palace Museum.

"Are you saying that the Forbidden City hides a thangka, but you have a physical statue here?" Fat Liu looked at the Buddha statue lying on the back of the car with covetous eyes.

"That's true." Han Peacock smiled.

Fatty Liu said: "This King Kong statue shouldn't be made of copper, right? It doesn't use gilding technology. The most important thing is that it looks too new. If it is really from the early Qing Dynasty, how can it not lose any color?"

Han Kongque said: "I don't know about this, but such a Buddha statue cannot be used to deceive people. Who else in the modern world would make such a dense Vajra statue when they are full and have nothing to do?"

Not all Gushyasya Vajra statues are the same as this one. Some Vajra statues do not have those ambiguous movements, and even if they do, they are very slight. But this one is very much like the Huanxi Buddha statue.

Li Shuang didn't have much interest in this Buddha statue, so after leaving a phone number for Han Kongque, he got off the car in front of a hotel.

Fat Liu said: "Where should I send it to you?"

"Send it to my new house!" Han Kongque said the address, got into the back seat, and began to study the Gushyajyajara statue.

Because there are many colors used, it looks like a clay sculpture. But Han Peacock looked a little and knew that it was made of copper tires. This should be copper tire painting. Due to the use of painting technology, the colors are more vivid and richer.

This is much more gorgeous than the simple copper gilding process.
