Chapter 295 The Road to the Flower God Cup 2

"If it's yours, it's yours. If it's not yours, it's not yours. Try to fight for it, but don't force it."

With Mr. Bai's confession, Chen Ran left Mr. Bai's Mingxiang Pavilion. Of course, this was half an hour later.

Mr. Bai's support for Chen Ran didn't say anything. He not only told Chen Ran the whereabouts of the other cups he knew, but also verbally promised to transfer the three flower cups he collected to Chen Ran, but his three were all at home and did not let Chen Ran take them away for the time being. After the osmanthus cup is repaired, just take it away together.

The three flower god cups collected by Mr. Bai are the daffodil cup in January, the peach blossom cup in March, the lotus cup in June, the daffodil cup in January between 600,000 and 700,000 yuan, the peach blossom cup in March between 300,000 and 400,000, and the lotus cup in June is about 250,000.

Because Mr. Bai knew that Chen Ran had a June lotus cup in his collection, he only transferred the January daffodil cup and the March peach blossom cup to Chen Ran. The two together, that is, 950,000.

Chen Ran still concealed that Mr. Bai had seven osmanthus cups for the time being, so he didn't say anything about the lotus cups. Anyway, just wait until he comes to pick them up.

In the circle of antiques, no matter how good the relationship is, when it comes to money, it is very clear. When it comes to money, buyers and sellers can rest assured. Chen Ran asked Mr. Bai to make an offer price. Mr. Mr. Bai is not polite. Directly according to the auction record of the auction house, Mr. Bai does not care about the funds of 800,000 yuan, directly There was nothing to say about giving the cup to Chen Ran, but he gave the cup to Chen Ran. When Chen Ran collected a complete set of Kangxi Dynasty colorful December Flower God Cups, he directly offered the price. When Chen Ran came to pick them up, the money and things were clear, which undoubtedly reassured Chen Ran. Of course, for the time being, it was still an oral agreement. Chen Ran came to pick up the cup. Just pay at that time.

In addition to transferring his collection of the Flower God Cup to Chen Ran, Mr. Bai also gave Chen Ran a good lesson and explained to Chen Ran very carefully how to identify the authenticity of the Flower God Cup and how to distinguish the difference between the colorful Flower God Cup of the Kangxi Dynasty and other flower God Cups like the Republic of China period.

Although he has an energy aperture, the more he knows about the Flower God Cup, the more beneficial it will undoubtedly be to him.

Because the Kangxi Dynasty's blue and colorful December Flower God Cup was a famous official kiln product, there were many imitations from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, among which the imitations of the Republic of China were the best made.

Although the production skills of the imitation cup of the Republic of China are good, there are still many subtle differences compared with the Kangxi cup. These differences can be observed from the detailed observation of fetal quality, glaze, shape, structure, circle, style knowledge, painting skills and other aspects.

Mr. Bai talked very carefully, and even explained in detail the difference between the Huashen Cup of each month in Kangxi and the Republic of China period one by one.

The knowledge taught by Mr. Bai on how to identify the god of flowers is undoubtedly very important to Chen Ran, so although he may not be able to master it thoroughly for a while, he also remembers it word for word.

After leaving Mingxiang Pavilion, Chen Ran drove to find a restaurant first and casually ordered a few home-cooked dishes. At this time when he was waiting for the dishes, he took the leather bag and turned out a notebook from the bag.

The address and even the contact information of the collector of the Flower God Cup handed down by Mr. Bai are recorded in this notebook. Some have only one city name and one name, some only have contact information, but they don't know the name and address, and some have only one name. , there is no address or contact information... However, it can basically be contacted through a roundabout relationship. After all, these Tibetan masters are just Tibetan friends. Tibetan friends generally do not ask about their origin and family background. It is normal for Mr. Bai not to know the specific address and contact information.

Of course, these Tibetan owners are not all from Central Plains Province, all over the country. In addition to Mr. Bai, there are four people in Central Plains Province.

Needless to say, Chen Ran will definitely run close first and then far away, receive all the cups from Central Plains first, and then go to other places.

These four people in Central Plains Province have a large background, some ordinary people, and some people who don't know the details. It is naturally difficult to collect them, especially if they can see others or not is a problem.

In fact, there is no need to choose at all. Chen Ran has the first goal, because this goal is an acquaintance, not someone else, but Jiang Lao, that is, the old man who once stopped him from switching to official kilns and plum bottles in the antique city.

According to Mr. Bai, Mr. Jiang should have four flower cups in his hand. When Mr. Bai talked about Jiang Lao's collection of the Flower God Cup, he also told a story between him and Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Bai was born in a ceramic family. When he was young, he was also a promiscuous son, and Mr. Jiang was also born in a porcelain family. However, what Mr. Jiang said was more decent and unpleasant, but he was a little old-fashioned. He didn't like Mr. Bai any way he looked at it, plus two People are still born in a ceramic family and no one is convinced. It can be said that there are continuous contradictions. Later, Mr. Bai fell in love with his fiancee who had made a marriage with Jiang Lao since he was a child. Mr. Bai forced Jiang Lao to make a bet with him, and whoever wins will return.

Both of them come from a ceramic family, and this bet is naturally related to ceramics.

At the same time, collect the blue and white colorful December Flower God Cup during the Kangxi period, with a period of three years. When the deadline comes, the one who collects the most wins.

As a result, Mr. Bai didn't say who lost and who won. Chen Ran asked curiously, but he was stared at by Mr. Bai and finally did not answer his question.

Looking at Mr. Bai's appearance, and Lao Bai said that Jiang Lao's collection of four flower god cups, Chen Ran guessed that Jiang Lao should have won.

No wonder the last time Mr. Bai saw Mr. Jiang, he was so angry. It turned out that there was such a thing. Chen Ran was a little funny in his heart.

Although Chen Ran and Jiang Lao have only had one fate, and this fate has been preached by Jiang Lao, his impression of Jiang Lao is still good, and Jiang Lao's deepest impression on him is that there is a clear sense of good and evil. There were some misunderstandings before, but later he explained it clearly and took good care of him. Although he has never met him in the future, I heard that Mr. Jiang has also mentioned him many times in front of others, so Chen Ran is quite sure of the four cups collected by Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Bai doesn't have the contact information of Mr. Jiang, but he has the contact information of Mr. Jiang's son.

Chen Ran took out his mobile phone and dialed according to Jiang's son's phone number recorded in his notebook. It rang for a long time before he got through. After connecting, Chen Ran quickly introduced himself, saying that he wanted to visit Mr. Jiang.

"My father has gone to Shanghai. He won't be back until a few days. You can call me in a few days." After Chen Ran explained his intention, the other party's attitude was very cold and even a little impatient. After saying a few words, he hung up the phone directly before Chen Ran could speak.

Chen Ran, who was holding his mobile phone, frowned. He also wanted to ask Mr. Jiang's contact information, but the other party hung up the phone before he could ask.

Aware of the other party's attitude, Chen Ran also wanted to contact Jiang Lao directly, so he called again. As a result, it rang for a long time and no one answered.

Chen Ran is a little depressed. He can't get in touch with Jiang Lao's son, so he can't get in touch with Jiang Lao. He can't just come out of Bai Lao and trouble Bai Lao again.

Seeing that the waiter brought the dishes, Chen Ran didn't think much about it. It's almost two o'clock. Let's solve the problem of food and clothing first.

After dinner, Chen Ran called Mr. Jiang's son again, but the other party still didn't answer.

With a sigh, Chen Ran can only put Jiang Lao's four cups aside first. Anyway, he can't run away. Let's wait until Jiang Lao comes back. Jiang Lao is in Shanghai, and the other party should not lie to him.

Jiang Lao is not in Zhongdu, excluding Jiang Lao, and there are only three left in Central Plains Province. Chen Ran took a notebook and decided to go to Dongdu.

After choosing the route, Chen Ran drove his car to add some gas at the gas station and set off. The distance between Dongdu and Zhongdu was very close. In less than half an hour, he arrived in Dongdu.

Chen Ran has never been to Dongdu. When he arrived in Dongdu, he didn't know how to get there. He simply parked the SUV in the parking lot of a hotel and stopped a taxi directly.

"Master, Songmen Village, Gulou District."

When he got into the taxi, Chen Ran told the address he knew to the driver. He only knew such an address, but his target was an old man surnamed Lin. Mr. Lin was not a person in Mr. Bai's collection circle, and even Mr. Bai and Mr. Lin did not know each other. He just knew such a person.

According to Mr. Bai, old man Lin should have two flower god cups in his collection.

Chen Ran's goal is these two flower cups.

When the taxi arrived at Songmen Village, Chen Ran paid the bill and got out of the car and went straight into Songmen Village.

"Boss, let me ask you something. Do you know an uncle surnamed Lin here?" Entering Songmen Village, Chen Ran went to a cigarette hotel at the entrance of the village to buy a pack of cigarettes. After opening it, he handed one to the boss and inquired about it.

"I don't know." The boss waved his hand and didn't take the cigarette handed over by Chen Ran.

Chen Ran frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Is the Songmen Mosque far from us?"

Old Lin's home is not far from the Songmen Mosque, but I don't know how far it is.

"It's still far away. Just follow this road and go straight in." The boss stood at the door and pointed to Chen Ran.

After Chen Ran thanked him, he walked along this road to the village and walked for more than ten minutes. Sure enough, he saw the Songmen Mosque, which was also a tourist attraction, but there were not many people.

"Aunt, let me ask you something. Do you know where Uncle Lin's house lives?" Seeing an old lady sitting by the roadside with a child in her arms, which should be a local, Chen Ran stepped forward and asked.

The old lady raised her head and glanced at Chen Ran before saying, "Which Uncle Lin are you talking about? Most of the people living here are surnamed Lin. Who knows which one you are talking about?"

Chen Ran was stunned and then thought, "Is there a Uncle Lin who likes to collect antiques?"

"You're talking about Lin Laoshi. He is the only one who likes to play with those things. He is on this building and lives on the second floor." The old lady patted the child in her arms and pointed to Chen Ran.

Chen Ran looked at it, thanked him, and hurried to the building pointed to him by the old lady.

[Qixi, I came back late, you know, forgive me... Please give me a red ticket.]
