Text Chapter 184 It¡¯s time to pick up the missing pieces

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There is indeed a lot of collections in Teacher Li's home, and Xu Jun has been dazzled by the massive collections in front of him.  ././The collection is neatly organized but not cluttered. There are no less than a hundred pieces of porcelain placed on the rows of specially made wooden shelves. Some calligraphy and paintings, ancient jades and even bronzes can also be found here.

    After simply looking at Teacher Li¡¯s collection, Xu Jun couldn¡¯t help but admire Teacher Li in terms of quantity and quality.

    Thinking that some of his collections might be bought by the two guys in front of him, Teacher Li was a little cold towards Xu Jun and the young man named Su. Especially after seeing that the young man named Su had already set his sights on those porcelains of his, he was even more eager to do so.  He beat him up, but thinking about his company in jeopardy, his heart had to soften.

    The transaction between the two parties was consensual, and Teacher Li could not blame Xu Jun and the young man. However, as a collector, when he saw that his treasured collection was bought by the other party with money, then  This ambivalence is understandable.  Therefore, when he saw Teacher Li's somewhat resentful look, Xu Jun just smiled awkwardly, because he felt that he was trying to rub salt into the other person's wounds.

    Xu Jun's awkward smile actually made Teacher Li feel a little better for him. After smiling back, he saw that the young man named Su had already begun to play with the porcelain on the wooden shelf. Teacher Li shouted to the man named Su somewhat rudely:  "Mr. Su, those are not for sale, these are the ones that can be bought and sold." He pointed to a wooden frame in the northwest corner and glared at the man named Su.

    Those porcelains are his collection.  Even if he really goes bankrupt, he will not sell it. What he really wants to sell is the collection that he cannot be sure of after buying it or that is not so precious to him.  And seeing that the young man surnamed Su was interested in his most cherished porcelain, Teacher Li became even more angry.

    The young man surnamed Su was just looking at a blue and white washer with a dragon and bead pattern on the inside and outside. The pattern on the bottom was obviously an official kiln porcelain from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.  This brush wash has an elegant and unique shape, with lively and bright blue and white patterns.  The mouth of the vessel is in the shape of a ten-petal flower, and the walls of the vessel also have corresponding edges.  Extending from the mouth to the base of the vessel, the shape is obviously based on early lacquerware.

    The entire vessel is decorated with a five-clawed dragon pattern, making the overall look more vivid and colorful.  Each of the ten-petaled edges is decorated with a frameless dragon.  The ascending dragon alternates with the descending dragon.  The inner and outer bottoms are each decorated with a large five-clawed dragon, accompanied by auspicious clouds.  There are a total of 12 five-clawed dragons painted on the whole vessel, which is definitely a very rare treasure.

    And as far as he knows.  Just a few years ago, Sotheby's auction house in Hong Kong also sold such a brush washer. The actual auction price at that time was more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to more than 33 million yuan, and if such a  If a brush were put up for auction now, it would be normal for it to fetch 40 million yuan.

    Originally, the young man surnamed Su fell in love with this brush washer at the first sight and wanted to give it to the old man as a birthday gift.  Since he retired, the old man has begun to like antique appraisal and collection. I believe that such a substantial gift will definitely make the old man look at him with admiration.

    But now that he saw Teacher Li glaring at him, the young man surnamed Su understood that he had been too hasty.  Teacher Li is feeling unhappy right now.  It's okay if he doesn't comfort him, but he still blatantly provokes the other person, trying to take away the fat from his mouth. It's obviously a miscalculation on his part.

    Realizing his mistake, the young man named Su would not just wait for the relationship between the two to become tense.  After all, I was still planning to get some treasures from the other party to please the old man, so I walked back a little embarrassed, apologized to Teacher Li and said: "I'm sorry, Teacher Li, look at my virtue, I really like porcelain too much. So.  I'm a bit rude, please forgive me!" After saying that, he gave Boss Huang a look.

    Boss Huang received the signal from the young man surnamed Su and naturally wanted to speak for him, so he chuckled and said: "Mr. Su is also a fellow-minded person. It is inevitable that he will lose his temper when he likes something. It is human nature. Just like me.  , when I saw the good jade, I felt very itchy in my heart, and I wanted to take it for myself immediately. It¡¯s understandable, but Teacher Li naturally won¡¯t take it to heart!¡±

    Both of them were well-rounded people, and each of them extinguished 80% of Teacher Li's anger with just one sentence. In addition, the young man named Su kept bending over to apologize, so Teacher Li also felt that his behavior was excusable, but it was  My attitude was a little too much, so I didn't pursue it further, but said to the three of them very calmly: "The collections to be sold this time have all been recovered in recent years. I'm just saying ugly things."  At the front, I don¡¯t know whether this is a treasure or a fake. Everyone depends on their ability. If you pick up a big leak, I will admit it. Likewise, if you buy a fake and bring it back, I can only say that you have punched your eyes. Trust me.  Everyone should understand what it means!¡±

    Xu Jun and the young man named SuNaturally, I didn¡¯t have any objections. Everyone knew the rules of collecting. Since they had already spoken up, they naturally understood what the other party meant.  Xu Jun was not disappointed after hearing what Teacher Li said, but was actually a little happy, because this way everyone can make a living based on their ability, and the price will naturally be much cheaper, so naturally he will have the opportunity to pick up the slack.

    There are many collections in the corner, and Teacher Li also puts them in categories, such as some paintings and calligraphy, on the wooden shelves next to them.  Xu Jun did not rush to select the collection he liked. Instead, after receiving Teacher Li's consent, he began to browse the collection along the dozen rows of wooden shelves.

    Although picking up leaks can bring surprises, Xu Jun comes here more now to study, so he is more concerned about some of the collections on the shelves, and the little favor he brought to Teacher Li just now also helped him a lot  , seeing that Xu Jun was very interested in his collections, Teacher Li was willing to be a little tour guide, telling Xu Jun the origins and stories of some of the collections on the shelves, as well as some knowledge about identification and collection.

    "This is a turquoise green earth pastel Ruyi ear vase from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty!" Teacher Li pointed to a green porcelain bottle in front of him and introduced to Xu Jun: "This ear vase has a dignified shape and a thick body. The mouth of the bottle is  It is made in the shape of a Ruyi cloud head with a rim, and the neck is decorated with Ruyi ears. The design is exquisite. The whole body of the bottle is covered with turquoise glaze, and the pastels are painted with entangled passion flower patterns and Kui dragon patterns. The painting is fine and the colors are bright. It is a Jiaqing official kiln.  A standard pastel instrument, handed down from generation to generation and well preserved as before. Extremely rare."

    "I wonder how you got it at that time?" Xu Jun observed carefully based on Teacher Li's words, very carefully.

    "Haha, it came from a bet!" Teacher Li seemed to have thought of something proud.  Laughed heartily.

    "Oh? It seems that this bet story is very exciting, but I wonder if I can share in Teacher Li's fun?" Xu Jun said flatteringly.

    "It's nothing to say. When I came across this ear vase, I happened to be with an expert in the collection industry. The expert said that the color of this ear vase was too bright and fancy, much like a modern handicraft. But I felt that this  The bottle looks heavy, dignified, and has a special temperament, so I say this ear bottle is genuine."

    "Who would have thought that my expert friend had a hot temper? Seeing that I doubted his judgment, he said that he would make a bet with me. If the ear bottle was genuine, he would pay for it and give it to me. If the ear bottle was fake,  I have to promise him to let him choose anything from my collection for him."

    "I was young at that time. I also had a hot temper. I was pushed back by the expert and I agreed impulsively. It sounded very risky. I regretted it as soon as I agreed. I was afraid that the expert had set me up, but  Businessmen have to be honest. What¡¯s more, they are also collectors, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet."

    "As a result, we invited three well-known domestic experts to come over for appraisal. Everyone agreed that this was an ear vase from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. It must be authentic. Hahaha, you didn't see that at the time, that so-called expert  The sight of the mute eating Coptis chinensis was really satisfying. From then on, I became completely obsessed with collecting, and to this day, I have so many collections without even realizing it!"

    The story told by Teacher Li is not exciting, but it is a great inspiration to Xu Jun. As long as you have a heart that likes collecting and pay attention to everything, where can you not miss something?  What's more, I still have the bug of good luck, so it can be said that the identification of these things is very simple.

    In fact, whether it is porcelain, calligraphy, painting, or ancient jade, a perfect work will have the spirit of the author or craftsman in it.  Of course, this kind of spirit is not only reflected in antique collections, but also like a delicacy, a dance, or a song, from which we can feel a certain emotion or will of the author or user.

    Xu Jun has also experimented. For example, if a delicacy is cooked by Xu Jun, he and even Lan Qing and Lin Kexin can feel the emotions in it, whether it is sadness or happiness. However, the delicacies made by Lin Kexin and Lan Qing are  There is no such emotion.  After Xu Jun's 'carving' has reached the 'superb level', the carved things seem to have a soul. Even if he is carving an ordinary butterfly, you can feel it from its graceful and graceful dancing figure.  Is it happy or sad.  Xu Jun cannot feel other professions that are below the level of "superb", such as his singing and his dancing.

    From this, Xu Jun himself had a guess that things made by professions at the level of 'superb' and above would contain some of Xu Jun's emotions or spirit, but it was difficult to feel them below the level of 'superb'.  The treasures among antiques are all perfect, and Xu Jun can easily feel the emotions of the author or user contained in them.Like the Ruyi ear vase in front of him, Xu Jun could clearly feel a noble and elegant temperament from it. It is obvious that this ear vase was probably an item used in the palace, or even used by Emperor Jiaqing.

    Of course, not everyone can feel the spirit and energy in antiques, but it takes experts above the level of "superior" to truly feel it.  Because Xu Jun has the ability to sense the true energy of creation, he is naturally not restricted by this professional level. He can easily feel the emotions contained in a certain work. This is his biggest cheating device.

    Listening to Teacher Li¡¯s stories and watching while walking, Xu Jun would sincerely ask Teacher Li for advice if he had some questions that he didn¡¯t understand well, and Teacher Li would also be very interested in passing on some of his experiences and insights to Xu Jun.  , Xu Jun felt that he benefited a lot.

    Xu Jun and Teacher Li were chatting happily here. The young man surnamed Su and Boss Huang were also excited in the northwest corner, regardless of the sweat on their heads.  The young man surnamed Su picked out some genuine works, and then selected them one by one. Naturally, he chose to keep the ones he particularly liked, while he did not let go of the ones he didn't like but were very valuable. For him, this was  But this is a very rare opportunity. There is no such store in this village.

    Although Boss Huang feels that it is understandable to behave this way about the things he likes.  But the appearance of the young man named Su this time was so ugly that even he shook his head secretly. This person always loses his mind in front of the things he cares about most.  This young man named Su is naturally no exception.  On the contrary, the silly guy who always behaved didn't seem to care about these things and was chatting happily with Teacher Li.

    But in fact, Boss Huang regards Xu Jun as too honest.  The reason why Xu Jun did not choose to be as busy on Taobao as the young man surnamed Su was, apart from the factor of learning, was that Xu Jun was not willing to spend too much money to buy these things. In his definition of collection, spending a lot of money  There is no sense of accomplishment in the things he buys, and his mood will naturally be slightly affected when he appreciates them. Therefore, he narrowly defines collecting as 'picking up missing items'!

    Since it¡¯s something missing, there¡¯s no need to compete with the young man named Su. It would be more fun to collect it if you wait for him to pick it out yourself.  And take advantage of this free opportunity.  It's better to learn more about collecting from Teacher Li to be more serious.

    Teacher Li¡¯s collection is quite complex, including porcelain, pottery, jade, bronze, ancient wood furniture, calligraphy and painting, Buddhist statues, ancient coins, the Four Treasures of the Study, and even lacquerware, embroidery, etc. This also allowed Xu Jun to combine Li¡¯s collection with his observation.  The teacher's introduction was eye-opening, and some items such as ivory carvings and seals were among the miscellaneous items. Xu Jun really learned a lot.

    Xu Jun and Teacher Li.  One is a good teacher, one is serious about studying, one is talking with great interest, and the other is not excited when listening. They both get what they need, especially when it comes to some more professional collection knowledge.  Xu Jun listened even more carefully, for fear of missing something. Teacher Li saw that Xu Jun was very intoxicated when he listened, and he was even more eloquent when talking. Five hours passed without realizing it until Boss Huang came over.  Only then did the two of them realize that there were two more people inside.

    "What? Have you picked everything?" Being interrupted by Boss Huang, Teacher Li felt a little unhappy, but after talking with Xu Jun for a period of time, most of the depression in his heart had been relieved.

    ¡°I¡¯ve picked it out, I¡¯m just waiting for you to come over and take a look!¡± The young man surnamed Su felt that he had gained a lot from this trip, so he said to Teacher Li with a smile.

    "In that case, let's go over and take a look, negotiate the price, and deliver the goods with one hand!" Teacher Li was also very straightforward, and walked directly to the northwest corner after speaking.

    Seeing the several collections selected by the young man surnamed Su, Teacher Li had no expression on his face. These were all things he was unsure of. Since the other party had selected them, he naturally had nothing to say, but naturally he had to carefully weigh the price.  After all, these collections often cost tens or even millions. Although the money is not much, you can't make it too cheap.

    The three of them were thinking about each other, but Xu Jun walked to the corner, and the true energy of creation turned into a true energy net to cover the collection here. Soon, Xu Jun grasped the information of the collection inside.  Among them, Xu Jun was particularly interested in a calligraphy and painting.

    Xu Jun gently picked up the calligraphy and painting he was interested in, and then unfolded it.  This is a picture of "The Staff Drawing on the Creek Bridge" by Shen Zhou of the Ming Dynasty.

    Shen Zhou was the founder of Wumen School of Painting. His courtesy name was Qinan, his nickname was Shitian, and he was also known as Baishiweng and Yutiansheng. He had a kind-hearted nature and was erudite. He was good at literature, and he was also good at poetry and painting. He was good at painting landscapes, flowers, birds and animals.  , insects and fish, all extremely wonderful.  Because he often wrote poems on his paintings, he was known as "Mr. Er Jue" at that time.

    This painting "Picture of a Stick on a River Bridge" was created in his middle age., the writing style is round and strong, thick and concise, it is definitely a rare treasure.  However, the painting in Xu Jun's hand is obviously an imitation by later generations. Although the brushwork and techniques are almost the same as Shen Zhou's, the inner spirit is far from Shen Zhou's.  That means it's a fake.

    However, there is another painting hidden deep inside this exquisitely framed fake. If Xu Jun's sense of creation energy had not been particularly keen, he would not have discovered this secret.  As for whose work the paintings inside are, Xu Jun still can't tell clearly, but judging from the information sensed by the creation energy, the level of the author of the paintings inside is obviously above "supernatural", otherwise Xu Jun would not be able to tell at all.  You won¡¯t feel such clear personal emotions.

    There was a leak, and it was a big leak. Xu Jun couldn't hold it anymore. With Teacher Li and the four of them behind his back, Xu Jun tried his best to calm down, resisted the temptation, and put the painting on the shelf again.  But you can't make it too obvious for Teacher Li and others to see the flaw.  (Your support on this site is my greatest motivation.)
