Chapter 0152 – Chenghua Doucai (I)
“Officer Miao ……”
“Call Fifi ……”
“Don’t bother. I still call you Officer Miao! I won’t have to change my name if I provoke you again in a little while.”
Zhuang Rui’s words made Miao Fei Fei smiled, but she was still a bit skeptical of Zhuang Rui’s words just now, that middle-aged man has long thieving eyebrows and eyes, and his body also carries a fishy smell of soil, to Miao Fei Fei’s eyes, in all likelihood, he is a ground rat that often plays holes and drills holes, if he really catches a grave robbing gang, it’s a great achievement!
“Officer Miao, we’ve been walking around for more than two hours, let’s go to that teahouse and have a seat! I’ll tell you later, you’ll understand.” Zhuang Rui looked around, the two stood in the corner in fact quite inviting eyes, over often people will look at a glance, so pulled Miao Fei Fei into the side of a teahouse.
This teahouse and the street side of the same building, are antique buildings, inside the hall running people are wearing incongruous ancient clothing, saw someone come in, the door of a fellow. Immediately dragged a long voice shouted: “There are guests to ……” immediately welcomed a girl in the early twenties wearing a cheongsam, just with the foot with sneakers, quite a bit of scenery, see Zhuang Rui heart secretly laugh.
The two went to the second floor, found a window seat sat down, Zhuang Rui ordered a pot of Pu’er tea, to a few kinds of snacks, this Pu’er tea for the first time to drink although it will feel a little strange, but after drinking habit, you can taste from it, and there are also the benefits of lowering blood lipids.
Just this teahouse on the Pu-erh tea, drink in the mouth more a trace of bitterness, but less a little mellow flavor, and uncle De yesterday took the tea cake compared to that is a far cry.
“Zhuang Rui, you haven’t explained to me about that just now, how do you know that those two are not grave robbers?”
Tea good tea bad for Miao Fei Fei is not important, the northern people drink tea are used to take a large tea cup, heavy mouth put a small half cup of tea, a bubble is a day, very few southerners drink tea carefully, Miao Fei Fei is no exception, eating snacks and drinking Puerh Tea, a pair of eyes are staring at Zhuang Rui.
Seeing Miao Feifei so persistent, Zhuang Rui sighed and said: “Officer Miao, I’ll tell you a story! It’s the one that happened within this antique market, but whether there are those two people just now in the story, I’m not sure.”
“Good, good, you tell it quickly.”
Miao Fei Fei at this time where like a police officer, one hand grasping the small dumplings into the mouth, one hand holding a cup of tea, both eyes glowing looking at Zhuang Rui, rather like a child who is ready to listen to an adult telling a story.
“This involves one of my elders, the name we will not say now, my elders in the shopping mall is a successful person, business is doing great, these years do not know how it is, like on the collection, you also know that there is a strong financial strength as a backing, play this line of work, that is to be higher than the average person to start a lot. However, I have a high heart of this elder, read a lot of books on antiques identification class picture, into the profession when the time to put the word, to pick up the leakage Taobao with the ability. So like Zhonghai City God Temple, hidden treasure building, Hua Bao building these antique market, he is not less to go, something to buy a house, but the real objects are only a few, in the last year, that one wandered into the City God Temple.”
“and we are the same, my elders in the stroll stalls, there are two people and he accosted, said that the hands of antiques just unearthed, to say that the mall in a lot of years, is also considered to know countless people, look at the words and deeds of these two people, indeed, like to fish for the side door, not allowed to hand really what good things, plus his ears are a little soft, can not afford to two people so a persuasion, followed, you guessed it, you know what? He followed them, and guess what?”
Zhuang Rui said here to sell a closed, give yourself a cup of tea.
“How is it? Could it be that the tomb raiding gang changed their profession to kidnapping, and kidnapped your elder, right?” Miao Fei Fei thought very seriously for a while, then said in a serious manner, listening to Zhuang Rui a head of melon black line, this senior sister’s imagination is too rich.
“Where is it? My elder then followed the two went, turned into a small hotel, not far from here, just inside the environment is too bad point, inside that flavor. At that time did not almost that smoked fainted, and then into a room, which has long been waiting for two people. Room waiting for the two long very small, more critical is, all through a smell of earth, like those who dig coal kilns, a glance can be seen, is to my elders heart on the letter of seven or eight points, wait until after the object is taken out, it is the eyes of the light, that is a Xuande stove, should be unearthed soon, covered with soil.”
“What is Xuande stove ah? For burning incense?” Miao Fei Fei spoke out and interrupted Zhuang Rui.
“On your part, you still often go to visit the Liuli Factory? If you’re not wearing a police uniform, I’m afraid you’ve already been fooled into bankruptcy.”
Zhuang Rui slandered a sentence in his heart and spoke out to explain: “What you said is also right, Xuande furnace is indeed used for burning incense in ancient times, but the origin of this is a bit big.”
“That is to say that the reign of Emperor Xuande of the Ming dynasty, in order to satisfy his personal hobby of playing and enjoying incense burners, specially ordered to import a batch of red copper from Siam (now Thailand), and tasked the palace imperial craftsman Lv Zhen and Ministry of Public Works Minister Wu Bangzuo, with reference to the imperial collection of Chai Kiln, Ru Kiln, official kiln, Brother Kiln, Jun Kiln, Ding Kiln famous porcelains of the styles, and the “Xuanhe Bogu TuLu”, “archaeological charts”, and other historical books, to design and Supervise the manufacture of incense burners. To ensure the quality of the incense burner. At that time the most skilled craftsmen, selected gold, silver and other dozens of precious metals, and red copper together after more than ten times of careful casting, the finished product after the copper incense burner color crystal and warm, is the Ming Dynasty at that time in the handicrafts of the treasures, Xuande furnace casting success, the opening of the later generations of the copper stove of the precedent, in a long period of history, Xuande furnace to become a copper incense burner of the common name. Just imported red copper was limited, Xuande three years using the red copper furnace cast a total of five thousand incense burners, and later never produced. These Xuande stoves are hidden within the forbidden palace, like us this ordinary people, that is only its name did not see its shape, and then after the dynastic change, this hundreds of years of wind and rain, the real Xuande three years of casting copper incense burner is extremely rare.”
“As the saying goes, things are rare as expensive, Xuande stove so few, natural price and its expensive, in order to profiteer, from the Ming dynasty Xuande years to the Republic of China, antique dealers imitation Xuande stove activities have never been interrupted, not to mention the modern era, on the Xuande stove to stop making the then part of the competent ‘Division casting matter’ of the Officials, immediately called the original casting furnace craftsmen, in accordance with the Xuande furnace drawings and process procedures for imitation, these carefully cast imitations can be comparable to the real thing, the expert authority can not be identified, so far, the domestic collection of major museums within the many Xuande furnace, none can be recognized by the many connoisseurs as the real Xuande furnace.”
“Then you mean that the Xuande stove seen by that elder is fake? It’s impossible to say! From the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty to now, several hundred years have passed, maybe those grave robbers dug out a real one from someone’s grave!” Miao Fei Fei interjected, she was determined that the group of people were grave robbers.
Zhuang Rui was Miao Fei Fei angry straight rolled his eyes, said in a bad mood: “Xuande furnace with exquisite materials, extremely well-made, in the early years of the Republic of China, a fine Xuande furnace, the asking price is often as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars, can be said to be priceless, if placed in the present, can be proved to be the real Xuande furnace, selling tens of millions of dollars is not uncommon, do you think that that thing is a big white cabbage, all over the street, casually digging an ancient tomb can come across it? You think that thing is a cabbage, all over the street, casually digging an ancient tomb can come across ah? After the Xuande period. Xuande stove, not only refers to the Xuande three years casting incense burner, but all with Xuande models of copper furnace collectively, can also be referred to and Xuanyuan models furnace shape similar to not with the paragraph, or with other models of copper furnace, the real Xuande three years of the furnace has become a mystery, we can now see the Xuande furnace, the vast majority of them are not the Xuande.”
“Even if that is a fake! Then what happened? That elder of yours was slaughtered?” Miao Fei Fei finally stopped dwelling on the truth and asked out of the blue.
Zhuang Rui nodded and said, “In that environment, the light was not very bright, my elders are looking at the time, and then came two people, said they also want to come to see what unearthed antiques, then that one was anxious, asked a few grave robbers how much this Xuande furnace to sell, those two small man, open mouth to be half a million.”
“Half a million for that, nothing, but he was listening to the price, a little through the evil, but the stove he was looking at, the heart estimated that there is 90 percent certainty is the Xuande stove, then the price of 50,000 dollars, sell, sell, do not sell immediately turn your face away. Who knows the back to the two people, opened the price of eighty thousand, that several grave robbers did not pay attention to my elders, but discussed with the later that the two people went to get money, this time my elders were anxious, this to the mouth of the fat meat, can not let him run ah! At that time opened the price of 100,000 dollars, and immediately went to the bank to put forward the money, in exchange for such a treasure Xuande furnace home.”
“The elder returned home, looking for someone to play a special cabinet, above also installed a glass cover and four spotlights, will be cleaned Xuande stove, for the inside, after that is blowing their own pick up a big leak, but then asked an expert to look at the object into the ground not more than two months, out of the ground not more than two weeks, the whole of a modern imitations. The expert said that the then wilted, angry back to find the so-called grave robbers, but here around for half a year did not touch, the national antique market so much, who knows where those people went to cheat ah! In fact, even if we find them, we can’t take them, there is no invoice, no witnesses, we can only recognize the loss, I just don’t want you to go with me, I don’t want to find the trouble, and I’m blindly wasting my efforts.”
“So that’s how it is? This behavior is indeed not good conviction, a willingness to fight a willingness to suffer, the two sides of the matter, but your elders are unlucky enough, one hundred thousand dollars just like this to cheat away.” Miao Fei Fei said thoughtfully after listening.
Zhuang Rui was about to return to the Miao Fei Fei words, the pocket phone rang, pick up a listen, Wei’s voice came out: “I said the youngest, you rest today! Noon we eat together, turn around you to the driving school to pick me up, damn, this coach and I can’t get through, give a Dongfeng 141 let me practice a morning in place in and out of the garage, brother my two shoulders are fast no intuition.”
“Just work to familiarize themselves with the business, these two days are not available, you solve it yourself! Early to make up the points deducted credit hours, or find Officer Miao to ask for a driver’s license ah! Okay, that’s it! I’m hanging up now!” Zhuang Rui looked at Miao Fei Fei while talking, his eyes full of laughter.
“My elder’s son is even more unlucky, he drove a car and squeezed a female police officer in place the other day, and he doesn’t even have a driver’s license anymore.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Rui cheerfully said to Miao Fei Fei, his mouth of the elders, naturally, is the old man of Viagra, like this thing, in that body do not know how many times, the father of the Yang is still adhering to the idea of picking up a big leakage, perseverance in the various antique market, but now the number of times out of the hand is less, when the chances are also reduced a lot.
At least Zhuang Rui a few days ago to go to Wei’s home, found in the father of Yang’s treasure room, did not add how many objects, Zhuang Rui at that time with the aura in the house to see some, found that only a few objects inside the existence of some thin white aura, looks like the age is not very far away, as for the other, I think all fake.
“You’re talking about your classmate’s father, right?”
Miao Fei Fei smiled at that, but immediately tensed her face and said to Zhuang Rui, “Don’t think about pleading for him! After he passes the driving test, I’ll naturally return the Ben to him, otherwise don’t even think about taking the back door from me.”
“That’s, that’s, Wei is still fighting with the Dongfeng 141 in the driving school in the morning, Officer Miao, you can rest assured that we will definitely not intercede for him, but if he passes in the driving school, do you think you can return his driving license to him?”
Zhuang Rui really did not think to give Viagra lobbying ahead of the driver’s license back, he hoped that the opposite side of this, do not give Viagra shoes to wear on the line, late back a few days of this, their car can be more safe for a few days, Zhuang Rui on the boss’s driving skills, has been very desperate, driving seven or eight years of the car, or the level of that level, count on the effect of a few days in the driving school, want to see, do not even have to think about it.
“Do not have this mind is good, give him a driver’s license in advance, not helping him, but harming him, let’s go! Let’s stroll around again, in the evening sis will treat you to dinner, tomorrow we will go to Zhouzhuang, I heard that the scenery of the Jiangnan water town there is very good, I have never had the chance to go.” Miao Fei Fei stood up, said with a big grin, at this time in her heart, Zhuang Rui is already a buddy that can be befriended.
“Cheng, Zhouzhuang is Zhouzhuang, who let the buddy offend you ah! Ancient saying: only women and small people are hard to raise.”
Zhuang Rui also said cheekily, I do not know why, and this cheerful little policewoman together, the heart is very relaxed, if a different person, Zhuang Rui really can not open this joke.
“Looking for death you, sister is a black belt six, cut you like a small dish general.” Miao Fei Fei sniffed to Zhuang Rui glared up, just her looks are too confusing, this eyes look like flirting ingredients more.
Zhuang Rui laughed, did not return the mouth, recruited the waiter to buy a single, his behavior so that Miao Fei Fei is very appreciated, we must know, not long ago, Miao Fei Fei, an elder son, the so-called IT industry elite in Zhonghai invited her to dinner, a meal ate more than three hundred dollars, after eating the elite actually pulled out one hundred and twenty dollars to pay for their own point of view of a few dishes, and then will be the bill handed to the Miao Fei Fei, said that the popularity of the AA system. AA system, Miao Feifei did not say anything at that time, took out the money to pay the bill.
After rejecting that elite’s suggestion of inviting her to watch a movie, Miao Fei Fei almost didn’t spit out what she had just eaten when she returned home, and that elite person actually called, saying that he appreciated Miao Fei Fei and wanted to make further contact to establish a romantic relationship, scaring her so much that Miao Fei Fei directly pulled that person’s phone number into her blacklist.
“Xiao Huan, no let’s just sell this to that store! Now the family has no money, there are 50,000 yuan, also enough for our father to do seven or eight courses of chemotherapy, you children do not be so stubborn ah!”
In the City God Temple, a very bad location next to the store, set up a stall, compared to other stalls large four or five meters, smaller also have two or three meters, this stall is much more simple, just in the ground spread a daily newspaper in the sea, newspaper above the put two porcelain.
People come and go is quite a lot, but very few in this stall stopped for three minutes, are stopped to say less than a few words, turn around and leave, not because the object is not less attractive to tourists, but because the stall owner is really eccentric point.
But where someone fancy these two porcelain after asking the price, the very young stall owner opening is three hundred thousand, a penny without haggling, in the stall objects, shouting out this price, simply can not stay guests, even if someone fancy, can not afford the price, can only shake their heads and leave.
At this time in the young stall owner’s side, half-squatting a young about twenty-three or twenty-four years old girl, looking at his brother devouring his own food, the heart can not help but feel some pain.
“Sis, you don’t say anymore, that person is a crooked businessman, dad said, this thing is below 300,000 won’t sell, I worked in the university last year and earned a few thousand dollars, plus your salary, enough for dad to do three courses of chemotherapy, I just turn back to find a place to go to brush the dishes, also won’t sell this thing to those crooked businessmen, tomorrow I will go to those auction houses to ask, see if I can auction it off. out.”
Sitting in front of the stall of the big boy while eating, while slurred words, he took these two porcelain to several stores in the morning, the first store gave the price of fifty thousand dollars, and put forward this antique market, no one can be higher than his bid again, this young man does not believe, and then ran a few stores in succession, but found that as the man said, each one gave the price of three to five million ranging from three to five thousand dollars, are indeed both There is no more than the first one.
Good horse does not eat back grass, this young man also has a stubbornness, simply spread a newspaper set up a stall, he is decided that if you can not sell today, and so tomorrow will go to find the auction house auction, how will not go to those antique stores.
“Xiao Zhuangzi, the antique market in Zhonghai is really so fake ah? We have traveled for half a day, is there not a real antique? Every time I pick one up, you say it’s fake, are you afraid I’ll spend your money to buy it? I didn’t ask you to pay for these things!”
“Hey, Gege Xiangxiang, back to Gege words, you hold in your hands, are not all real, why do you have to buy those open the door to fake objects, if I let you buy, back to you and then come to find me after (counting) accounts, I lose not lose ah!”
Miao Fei Fei words let Zhuang Rui is laughing and crying, this just invited her to drink a tea, are not counted as a formal meal, he was in the mouth of Miao Fei Fei upgraded from Zhuang Rui to a small Zhuangzi, which all the way to a small Zhuangzi long small Zhuangzi short, said Zhuang Rui is always thinking of a certain old Buddha mouth of the small Li Zi, small An Zi, and so on.
“This thing where is considered what antique ah, just some movie posters, I take back to Beijing, to our family that the oldest old codger remembrance of history, he likes to watch those black and white movies, but also often use the characters inside to teach people.”
Miao Fei Fei raised the hand rolled into a roll of a few already somewhat yellowed old pictorials, do not look at these things but only thirty or forty years of history, but spent Miao Fei Fei full more than a thousand dollars, especially the poster of the movie “South Marching to the North”, that the stall owner to ask for six hundred dollars, said that this is the first war film since the founding of the country, the country is still well-preserved posters, absolutely no more than 100.
“Huh, Xiao Zhuangzi, come and look, here are two porcelain, how are both broken still put out for sale ah!”
Miao Fei Fei was squatting next to a stall at the moment, picking up a bowl shaped porcelain and sizing it up, her mouth shouting at Zhuang Rui.
“Please, this young lady, this isn’t broken porcelain, it’s just mended, if you don’t want it, please make way.”
The young stall owner who had just finished his meal said to Miao Fei Fei in a bad mood, her father’s illness had been tormenting the siblings these days, even though Miao Fei Fei was a beautiful young girl, the young man didn’t color her.
“I haven’t even looked at it yet, how do you know I don’t want it? Zhuang Rui, you should hurry up! This young man is quite bullish, come and see if this object of his is real or fake?” Miao Fei Fei didn’t get angry and handed the porcelain in her hand to Zhuang Rui who had just squatted down.
“Hey, I say you guys be careful, whose ass is it if you break it? You put it down! I’m not selling you guys.”
That young big boy was anxious, this porcelain is the most fragile, if you accidentally drop it on the ground, it’s designated to break, while the young man was talking, he didn’t realize that the sister who was packing the lunch box, after hearing the two words Zhuang Rui, immediately looked at the man who just walked over, his eyes full of astonishment.
“It’s okay, I’ll take a look first, if it’s something good, I’ll pay for it if it breaks, I’ll buy it if I like it, you don’t have to worry.”
Zhuang Rui also knows that things are not in the hands of this rule, just can’t explain with Miao Fei Fei this layman.
Pacify the stall owner almost jumped up, Zhuang Rui is ready to take a closer look at the porcelain, but felt a gaze on his face, but not follow that gaze, but found that the boy sitting next to the age of a girl is not too big, just the two eyes relative to the girl some panicked retracted to gaze at Zhuang Rui’s eyes.
