Inherit For Three Thousand Years

"That is to say, so far, there are only two pairs of Sanqiu cups in existence. It seems that this pair of small bowls can be called the national treasure." Tang Tianhao, who was standing next to Su Xianjun, also said aloud.

Tang Tianhao did not come with his father Tang Zhengshan, but arrived at the same time as Su Xianjun.

"I'm just an ordinary person, and I just want to know how much such a precious pair of small bowls cost?" Su Xianjun whispered.

When it comes to appreciating ability, Wang Xiaoxian, the owner of the auction company, may not be able to rank first among all the people present, but when it comes to appraising collections, the price he gives is very credible.

But after hearing Su Xianjun's question, he did not give an exact price, but said: "There are 17 and 16 chicken bowl cups in existence, but it is not recognized by the world. Not much. The Sanqiu cups are obviously less in stock than the chicken bowl cups, so I think if we have to give an estimate, the price should be slightly higher than that of the chicken bowl cups.”

Su Xianjun was convinced of the valuation given by Wang Xiaoxian, and he continued: "If I remember correctly, in 2014, the price of a Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup auctioned by Shanghai collector Mr. Liu should be 280 million Hong Kong dollars. Right? Then I don’t know if there are still chicken bowl cups up for auction, what kind of price can be auctioned?”

Regarding this auction record, many people present really knew about it. Even those who don't like collecting, many people have heard the news.

Many people remember the name Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup just because the auction of the chicken cup set a new auction record.

A small cup is worth 280 million Hong Kong dollars, which is unacceptable to laymen who have little research on porcelain collections. There is a reason behind Ru Kiln's hundreds of millions of dollars. How could such a small cup fetch such a sky-high price?

In fact, as early as 1999, a pair of fighting color chicken bowls from the Yongzheng period had already sold for a sky-high price of nearly 30 million Hong Kong dollars. No matter in 2014 or 1999, chicken cups produced in different ages have set new auction records for ancient Chinese porcelain, and "chicken cups" have become one of the treasures that many collectors dream of.

Wang Xiaoxian shook his head: "It's hard for me to answer this question for you. The reason why the auction prices of many treasures have repeatedly set records is because the quantity is too small, and the rare treasures are naturally everyone scrambling for it. It doesn't matter what price is auctioned. It’s possible. If there is a Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup with an orderly inheritance and is generally recognized by the collectors, the price will definitely not be lower than 2014, that’s for sure.”

"This is already very serious. Uncle Xiao and Aunt Bai's pair of Sanqiu cups are really quite heavy for the bottom of the box."

Even if Su Xianjun never worries about money, he is envious of Xiao Banxia's generous dowry.

Just the bottom-of-the-box dowry from parents is already worth hundreds of millions,

After receiving the makeup from these people present, even if the Xiao family does not prepare other dowries for Xiao Banxia, ​​it will be a big deal.

This is the veritable Miss Qianjin!

After Bai Yuzhen gave her daughter a pair of Sanqiu cups, everyone gave way to who would add makeup next.

After everyone gave in, Cheng Yu's grandmother was the second to present makeup.

Xiao Yao is not only the grandson-in-law that Cheng Yu's grandma likes from the bottom of her heart, but also her savior. To add makeup to Xiao Banxia this time, he directly took out one of the few treasures he kept at the bottom of the box.

Grandma Cheng Yu took out a simple wooden box, carefully took out a volume of ancient books, and said: "I have enjoyed good fortune and suffered hardships in my life. Although I have not saved any gold and silver treasures, I have loved reading since I was a child. Therefore, I especially like to collect all kinds of ancient books. This is a Song version of the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra", which is one of my rare treasures. I gave this Buddhist scripture to Pinellia, hoping that she can With the blessing of Buddha, this life will be smooth and happy.”

After the old lady took out this ancient book, even Cheng Yu's two uncles were quite surprised. They have always known that their old mother likes to collect ancient books, but they really didn't know that there are rare Song editions in her collection.

Xiao Banxia received the wooden box containing the ancient books, bowed deeply, and sincerely thanked: "Thank you for your gift, I will definitely take good care of this Buddhist scripture, and I will never let the precious book get dusty."

"You are a kind child, the Buddha will definitely bless you." The old lady sent her sincere wishes.

Xiao Banxia's relatives will send makeup one after another. Except for Xiao Yao, everyone else sent their hearts.

Of course, Xiao Banxia's relatives are nothing more than ordinary people compared to the guests present. The price of makeup they give is naturally not much higher, but the blessings are all the same of.

The relatives sent blessings, and then the guests sent makeup.

The makeup that Fan Jingyu, Jiang Shuwei and others sent was naturally much larger than that of Xiao Banxia's relatives, but because of their special identities, the price was around 30,000 to 50,000. Although the price of adding makeup is not high, but they are extremely attentive, expressing sincere blessings.

Everyone who came to add makeup to Xiao Banxia this time was very attentive, even the gifts prepared by young people such as Tang Tianhao and Su Xianjun were full of heart. The standard for them to choose gifts is not only to be valuable enough, but also to have a festive and peaceful meaning.

After the guests presented presents one after another, only the directors of the Xiaoyaohui and Xiao Yao himself were left.

Hao Demao first said: "A few years ago, I photographed a pair of Shuanghe incense burners at the auction. Happiness after marriage, grow old together, and fly together."

When Hao Demao asked his entourage to bring up the presents, seeing this pair of Shuanghe incense burners, even those who don't know how to appreciate them would think that this pair of Shuanghe incense burners must be a rare treasure, because this pair of incense burners is so amazing. beautiful!

If Hao Demao hadn't said in advance that it was a pair of incense burners, everyone would have thought it was a pair of lifelike crane sculptures.

The shape of the incense burner is that two cranes, big and small, stand side by side. The big crane stands upright and holds a peach branch in its mouth; First of all, in terms of morality, this is an excellent symbol for the incense burner.

Wang Xiaoxian watched very carefully, wishing that a pair of eyes would be on the crane for a closer look.

The body of the crane is hollow, inlaid with white glaze, the back is covered with strips of blue glaze, the feather pattern is made of filigree, the beak of the crane is covered with dark green glaze, and the top is red. The wings can be opened and closed as a cover. The base is blue-glazed and chiseled enamel is stone, and the base is decorated with green and white cloisonné enamel spray.

A good work of art can make anyone appreciate the existence of beauty, and this pair of crane incense burners is definitely a masterpiece, which is too beautiful to behold.

The shape of this vessel is realistic and majestic, the decoration is fine and inlaid, and the combination of filigree enamel and chiseled enamel shows the rigor, persistence and extremely high artistic pursuit of the Yongzheng Dynasty.

Seeing that everyone present was attracted by his pair of crane incense burners, Hao Demao continued to introduce: "Everyone has seen that the shape of this pair of incense burners is very beautiful, and when the incense burners are lit, green smoke slowly flows from the crane's mouth Slowly floating out, that is the real beauty, the lingering wisps of green smoke make people feel like they are in a fairyland."

Hearing what Hao Demao said, although everyone didn't have the chance to see the scene of the incense burner burning green smoke, they could still imagine it.

After appreciating it carefully, Wang Xiaoxian finally spoke, "I never thought that this pair of unique treasures handed down from ancient times would fall into your hands. You are really generous."

Although he himself is the owner of the auction house, he has quite a few treasures in his hands, but the most valuable one is only about 50 million. This most valuable collection was given to Xiao Banxia by him today as an addition to makeup, which made him very heartbroken, and he was really reluctant to part with it.

But he had to.

His generosity is not only because of Xiao Yao's identity, but also because of Xiao Yao's reward.

His auction house has already obtained many treasures from Xiao Yao for auction. Although the number is not large, it can cause a sensation every time, whether it is direct or potential benefits, it is huge. The marriage of Xiao Yao's sister this time is the best opportunity to repay him, and he cannot be stingy.

Qin Huali also said: "If I remember correctly, this pair of incense burners should have been photographed on Hong Kong Island in 10 years ago, when I was still participating in the competition. Why weren't you there at that time? If I knew who was competing with me It's you, maybe I won't argue with you, and it will save you money."

"At that time, I had an important business trip to Ridao, because I personally liked this pair of incense burners, so I entrusted someone to bid for me. If you didn't recruit yourself today, who would have competed with me to the end? I really don't know, you have to treat later, otherwise, we won't finish this matter." Hao Demao half explained, half jokingly said.

"I think it's you who should be the one to treat the guests. You have brought out such a good treasure, and you've put me down in an instant. How can you have the face to bring out the presents if you ask me to wait?"

"If you can really compare the gift you prepared, then I will treat you." Hao Demao laughed loudly.

Qin Huali sneered, "It's a good idea. Although your gift is not bad, the gift I gave is even better. If you want to compare me, you'd better wait for the next time."

"It's useless to sell yourself, let's wait and see." Of course Hao Demao was not convinced.

"Then let's compare." If he hadn't seen Hao Demao's gift, Qin Huali really wouldn't dare to say that the gift he had prepared would definitely beat him, but after seeing it, he would naturally have full confidence.

The two old people bickered, and the others didn't dare to intervene. Knowing that the two had come to an end, Su Xianjun asked: "Mr. Qin, can I ask, at the auction meeting in 2010, what was the last price of this pair of crane incense burners?" What was the transaction price?"

After some recollection, Qin Huali said: "Although it's been a long time, I still remember the approximate price because I really like this pair of crane incense burners. If I remember correctly, the final transaction price should be almost less than 130 million Hong Kong dollars."

Everyone present gasped in unison!

Xiao Banxia's eyes widened even more, his expression was full of disbelief.

The make-up that those younger brothers' friends gave her earlier had already shocked her. The make-up that these people gave her cost millions, tens of millions, or even tens of millions. My vision has increased a lot, but I still feel a little jittery.

Now among the younger brother's friends, only the directors of the Promise Club did not send gifts. She had already guessed that the gifts from these people would be very heavy, but she never expected that the price would exceed 100 million. too exaggerated!

Originally, my younger brother said that his friends like to be lively and wanted to give her some makeup, but she didn't take it seriously. She thought it was just a new title to add joy and fun, but she really didn't expect to receive a particularly expensive gift.

After all, these friends of my younger brother all need gift money. According to the current customs, this is the highlight.

But what these people did was completely different from what she thought, and the gifts sent by the guests present turned out to be more expensive one by one.

She, the recipient of the gift, was a little soft-hearted. Judging from the current situation, these additions of makeup alone were enough to make her a billionaire.

However, it turns out that her knowledge and knowledge of these people is all too shallow.

How can a billionaire lady be enough? At least one more digit should be added.

Ten years ago, the price of this team of crane incense burners had reached 130 million Hong Kong dollars, and the current price may reach 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

She really didn't dare to say such a precious gift.

She bowed to Hao Demao first, and said: "Chairman Hao, thank you for the gift you gave me. I accept your kindness, but I really dare not accept such an expensive gift."

Hao Demao said proudly: "Why don't you dare, isn't it just a crane incense burner? At most, the craftsmanship is a little more exquisite, and the number of similar items in the world is a little less. You are Xiao Yao's sister, a young lady like you It is worthy to use this pair of incense burners, so you just accept it."

Xiao Banxia couldn't make a decision, so he turned to look at his younger brother.

She really dare not accept such an expensive gift. She and this Chairman Hao Demao have never met before, why did the other party give her such a precious thing, isn't it because of Xiao Yao's face?

If she accepts this gift today, her brother must find a way to repay the favor in the future. In this world, favors are always difficult to repay. It is better not to owe favors when it is not necessary.

Xiao Yao knew what his sister wanted, and said, "Sister, just accept it. Chairman Hao brought such a heavy incense burner all the way here. You can't let him take it back. And the meaning of this pair of incense burners is indeed true. Very good, from now on you and my brother-in-law will live together, just like the pair of cranes on this incense burner."
