Golden Pupil

Chapter 390 Court Painting

Zheng Hua sighed. He also knew that Niu Hong had offended Zhuang Rui this time, but the elders of the family had a good relationship with the old boat king who passed away. He couldn't help but persuade him. Who knew that Niu Hong did not give himself face. Zhuang Rui, who had always looked very kind, actually walked around the real fire and " All right, Ji Yi, come here and see how much these things are worth?

Niu Hong, with a big travel bag on his back, rushed into the gambling hall of the box like a gust of wind, put the travel bag on the gambling table, and began to take things out from the inside.

Niu Hong's move stunned Zhuang Rui for a moment, but with the object he took out, Zhuang Rui's eyes suddenly stared straight, and the slender neck bottle of the silver tire enamel painted lion pattern? Ming Yongle sweet white glaze dark flower peony pattern plum bottle? Are they all a couple? There is also the scroll that has not been opened. Looking at its appearance, it should also be an old object. Damn, such a precious thing, how can you put a travel bag together? If this is true, it will be greatly discounted if it is broken..."

Zhuang Rui was so angry that he almost scolded his mother. Niu Hong was really too vulgar. He didn't have time to distinguish the authenticity of porcelain with his aura, but depending on Niu Hong's behavior, Zhuang Rui couldn't wait to go up and beat him.

Since entering the antique industry, Zhuang Rui has also loved these objects handed down by his ancestors. You know, these things cannot be copied, and one damaged one is missing. If it is replaced by Zhuang Rui, he will definitely find a box of about the same size and put shredded paper filling in it, and then these The porcelain was brought out, but I didn't expect Niu Hong to just stuff the porcelain into a bag. I really don't know how his brain is.

Zheng Hua also smiled bitterly. He didn't expect Niu Hong to take out these things. He shook his head and turned around and walked out of the door. He wanted to call and urge the man. Only when he came can he control Niu Hong, the devil of the world. Niu Shao, please wait a moment. I'll ask the appraiser to come over..." Ji Yi took out his walkie-talkie and went to the door and shouted.

In the casino, you can use valuable antiques or as collateral, or sell them directly to exchange chips. Generally speaking, casinos will not accept it, but there are many pawnshops in Macao. When you go out of the casino gate, you can pawn things, and then take the money to continue to gamble.

In all the pawnshops of bromine, there are many dead objects. If you have a vision, "you can definitely find a lot of good things, such as some world famous watches, the price there may be only one-tenth of the original price or less.

Of course, because there are too many people traveling to bromine in various countries around the world, there are also some good and bad co-in-pros, specializing in making some fakes and putting them in the dead area. If you want to find the baby, it depends on your personal vision.

However, there is no pawnshop on the gambling ship, so the casino has changed its rules slightly and raised an antique jewelry appraisal expert. If someone takes out such objects to mortgage or sell them for exchange chips, the gambling ship is also accepted, but the price given is a few points lower than that of the pawnshop, and the conditions are very harsh. .

After about five or six minutes, the skinny old man, who was in his early sixties, walked into the gambling hall. When he saw two pairs of four pieces of porcelain placed on the gambling table, his eyes lit up. Before he could say hello, he quickly walked to the table, picked up the silver emels and enamel lion-painted long-necked bottle, Get up." Total, can I have a look at these pieces of porcelain?

In the few minutes waiting for the appraiser to arrive, Zhuang Rui observed from afar with Reiki. These porcelains were indeed authentic. The white aura was strong, and it was faintly changing to yellow. According to Zhuang Rui's experience, this was definitely the official kiln work of the Qing Dynasty, because if it Reiki will be yellow. He has seen a lot of objects, and he has almost tried.

And those two bottles are a bit like Ming Yongle sweet white glaze dark flower peony pattern. The aura inside is all yellow, and the color is dark and slightly purple, which is better than the two enamel colors. There is no doubt that it is authentic.

However, the porcelain of the official kilns of the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty can be said to be a lot of high-quality goods. Its artistic value and market price are no less than the treasures of the Song and Ming Dynasties.

In terms of market value, Qianlong porcelain is slightly more expensive than Yongle plum vase, because the price of monoglazed porcelain in the Ming Dynasty has not been very high, much worse than that of the Song Dynasty, but there has also been an upward trend in recent years. Seeing such a beautiful object, Zhuang Rui was also a little happy to hunt Jf at this time and wanted to play with it in his hand. This eleven one r one

Ji Yi looked at Niu Hong. This thing has not been sold yet, and the ownership is still Niu Hong's, and he can't make the decision.

Seeing Zhuang Rui's slightly urgent appearance, Niu Hong seemed to have found a sense of superiority. He snorted from his nose and said, "Tu Baozi, look, I don't know...

Zhuang Rui's attention at this time was all attracted by these exquisite porcelain pieces, and he didn't bother to quarrel with the cow. He took a step forward, picked up the remaining silver emerided lion pattern slender neck bottle, and looked at it carefully.

In this enamel porcelain, the upper half of the bottle has a slender neck, and the lower half is a spherical shape. It is grounded. The inside and mouth edge of the bottle, the edge of the foot and the outer bottom are exposed. The rest are decorated with enamel painting, and the neck is a long string of lotus flowers hanging on the branches.

The round spherical part is decorated with a picture of a lion's play ball, decorated with clouds, and the scene is lively; the neck and shoulders are decorated with inverted lotus petals, which are separated, and the distribution of the picture is relatively reasonable. At the bottom of the bottom, the "Qianlong year system of the Qing Dynasty" six Law.

The whole piece of porcelain is extremely well preserved. There is no trace of bump on it. The glaze is bright and the pulp is thick. It should be a masterpiece of the door, and people have enjoyed it in all dynasties.

Put down the enamel porcelain in his hand, Zhuang Rui picked up the Yongle plum vase to watch. The plum vase, also known as the classic bottle, first appeared in the Tang Dynasty and was more popular in the Song and Liao period. In the Song Dynasty, many plum bottles were produced by the people, which can generally be seen in large and small wine shops.

After the Ming Dynasty, the plum vase changed a lot in shape, and the shoulders were particularly plump, almost in a straight line. It is straightened below the waist, and the mouth of the bottle is very narrow, which can only be inserted into the plum blossom branch, so it is called a plum vase.

This plum vase is a typical Ming Dynasty style. The shoulders are rich, the shins are fat, the whole body is white glazed, the appearance is intact, and the shape is very perfect. Zhuang Rui has never seen such a plum vase in some Ming and Qing porcelain appreciation catalogues. It should be very

Ping was lost abroad, but he didn't know how to fall into the hands of Niu Hong. The most rare thing is that these four pieces of porcelain are all finished!! A pair, you know, the objects that have been circulating for hundreds of years, I don't know how many times have changed, the scourge of war, and it is not easy to keep the quality intact. If you can make a pair, it is even more unique. Like the porcelain auctioned by many auction houses, most of them are orphan products, and

Many people who like to accept contempt, in order to put the objects in their hands into a pair, do not hesitate to spend a lot of money and energy to become the right precious porcelain. In terms of market price, one plus one is not as simple as two, that is to show a geometric multiple. Incremental.

Huh? What is this gray seven?

When Zhuang Rui was playing, he turned the mouth of the plum bottle upside down to look at the bottom, but the ashes spilled from the mouth of the bottle fell on the red carpet. Zhuang Rui squatted down and rubbed it with his hand, feeling a little similar to soot. You won't use this thing as an ashtray, will you?!

This idea came to Zhuang Rui's mind, and then turned the plum bottle upside down. At the mouth of the bottle, he smelled, "Sure enough, there was a smell of smoke and oil. This discovery made Zhuang Rui laugh and cry. The thing was brought by Niu Dang. This matter has nothing to do with him. This guy is really a

After shaking his head and putting down the plum vase in his hand, Zhuang Rui picked up the painting shaft, untied the red rope tied in the middle, and slowly opened the painting and spread it on the gambling table. His behavior attracted Qin Xuanbing and others to gather around, but the old man who looked at the porcelain was still observing the porcelain in his hand and did Lang Xining's court painting?!"

When all the scrolls were opened, Zhuang Rui was shocked. Although he measured that this was an ancient painting with aura earlier, he did not expect that it would be Lang Shining's court oil painting. For a moment, the excitement in his heart was like the waves of the sea, which could not be calmed down for a long time.

Lang Shining is not a Chinese, but an Italian. His original name is Giuseppe, Gestriani. He was born in Milan. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty came to China to preach as a monk of the Catholic Jesuits in 54 years. Then he entered the palace and became a court painter. He participated in the design of the Western Building of In the Yong and Qian Dynasties, he was engaged in painting in China for many years.

As a foreigner, Lang Shining enjoys the exclusive value of three generations of emperors. His official title is a third-grade court painter, which is unique in all dynasties in China. His paintings integrate Chinese and Western techniques, forming a fine and realistic effect, creating a new painting style. In the history of Chinese painting, it has also left a strong ink Heavy color.

Lang Xining's works are now mainly stored in the Palace Museum and the Palace Museum in Taipei. There are also individual works at the Cleveland Museum in the United States and the East Asian Art Museum in Berlin, Germany, but few works have been lost in the folk and overseas. Except for some large museums, it is extremely difficult to see.

And this oil painting was painted by Lang Xining for Concubine Qianlong. The beautiful woman in the painting wore a clear palace coat, a wide neckline, a wide sleeve fluttered, and her head was simple and elegant. It can be said that her face was like a peach and auspicious snow. The sun was like a pearl and the spring water ri

A total of six concubines are painted on it. Their appearance is different, which is different from the abstract painting style of the ancient lady's picture. This painting is painted with Western techniques. Its appearance is realistic, which completely shows the charming appearance of the woman in the picture, which is extremely rare in the history of ancient Chinese painting.

Zhuang Rui remembered an allusion he had seen, saying that Emperor Qianlong once asked Lang Shining to give him a total of thirteen portraits of the imperial concubine, and Qianlong only saw the painting three times when the painting was completed, 700,000 years old and gave up his seat, and then sealed the painting in the box. Whoever eavesdropped That is the famous painting "Heart Writing Zhiping", which is now in the Cleveland Museum in the United States, was lost when the Eight-Nation Alliance entered China.

Zhuang Rui has seen the rubbings of the painting "Xinhua Zhiping". The 15 portraits of women painted on the picture scroll are all half-length portraits wearing winter clothes and winter dragon robes, which are very regular.

The painting in front of him is dressed casually. It should have been painted when Qianlong and the concubine were playing in the garden. In the corner of the painting, there is the signature of "Chenlang Shining". There is no doubt that it is indeed the real product of Shining, but Zhuang Rui has never seen this painting in any literature.

Lang Shining's works are very expensive. Zhuang Jiao heard that Lang Shining's "Autumn Forest Deer Picture" was auctioned at a sky-high price of 20 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong last year, and the characters in this painting need to be verified, which is more meaningful than the "Autumn Forest Deer Picture". If it really comes out The collection world caused an uproar.

Zhuang Rui's brain turned quickly. When he saw these pieces of porcelain, he was at most surprised, but when he saw this painting, his first reaction was to take it for himself. Yes, he is now thinking about how to turn this painting into his own. You know, this is a national treasure in the library. Cultural relics, among the objects collected by Zhuang Rui now, in terms of market value alone, there is nothing comparable to it.

After the whole painting was spread out, the old man also stretched his head and looked at it. Maybe he had a specialty. He was not very interested in the painting. He just took a look and then turned his attention to the porcelain bottle in his hand. Old plan, are you optimistic? Just make an estimate and bring the chips!"

Zhuang Rui and the old man looked at each other, and they both looked like they couldn't put it down, but Niu Hong, who waited beside him, was a little impatient. As a gambler with seven eyes, no matter how precious these we are, in Niu Dang's heart, they are not as pleasing to the chips on the table.

The skinny old man reluctantly put the porcelain bottle on the table, then pushed the presbyopia mirror on the bridge of his nose, and asked Niu Hong, "Niu Shao, I don't know the origin of your objects?"

What the old man asked is also a rule. The casino does not collect stolen goods, otherwise it will be very troublesome to be found by someone. If this thing was not brought by Niu Dang, Ji Yi would not pay attention to him at all. They opened a casino, not a pawnshop. It is also troublesome to take it down and sell it, so although However, with an antique appraiser, there are very few things to collect. B
