Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

"According to incomplete statistics, the number of various cultural relics and antiques lost by China to the United States exceeds 17 million, but the number collected by major museums in the United States is only about one-tenth, and the rest are hidden among the people or privately owned. Collected, or put in a random place as an ordinary old object."

Sima Haotian was deeply moved, and so were the others. In this antique shop, more than a dozen genuine Chinese porcelains and more than twenty pieces of jade have been found.

And Li Mo is still picking out one by one.

"These eleven gold-encrusted jade wares look very similar in style to the Mughal Dynasty. Anyway, they are not from China, so they are packaged separately."

Soon, the gold, silver and jade area was sorted out, and Li Mo came to the oil painting, calligraphy and painting area. Three of the oil paintings were of some value, so he pointed to them and packed them away.

"Mr. Qin, come quickly and take a look at these three paintings, they seem to be the imperial brushes of the Three Emperors."

Three Emperors Royal Brush?

Everyone didn't realize which Three Emperors they were referring to, and Li Mo was also a little confused, so he hurriedly walked over to look at the three paintings hanging on the wall.

"This is the imperial brush of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong. It's really unexpected. I came across the imperial brush of the Three Emperors in this antique shop."

Li Mo put on his gloves, took off the three paintings one by one and spread them on the counter.

"The three paintings have not been signed." Steven said half-understanding.

Li Mo glanced at him and said: "Do you think that everything written by the emperor is the same as that of ordinary people? Ordinary people will sign a certain pen at the end of their writing. But the emperor did not sign it, and only wrote the word 'Yubi' at the end. Then put the seal on it. Look at the first calligraphy work, the seal on the seal is: Kangxi Chenhan, this is the inscription. There is also the second calligraphy work: Yongzheng Chenhan, and the third painting and calligraphy work. It is: the Supreme Emperor, and there is also an ancient seal of the Son of Heaven."

"Mr. Qin, are the works of the three emperors of the Qing Dynasty very expensive?" Someone asked curiously.

"That's not true. Emperor Kangxi's calligraphy has a remark at the end: Imitate Dong Qichang's calligraphy, which means that he copied the works of Dong Qichang, a great calligrapher in the late Ming Dynasty. Understanding the market is worth five or six hundred thousand.”

"Emperor Yongzheng's calligraphy is better than that of his father and son. The strokes of this work are vigorous and vigorous. Because the works of Emperor Yongzheng are rarely handed down, the price will not be lower than 10 million yuan."

"As for the calligraphy and painting works of Emperor Qianlong, judging from the seal of Baoxi, they were drawn and written when he was in the Chengde Mountain Resort after he abdicated the throne. It does not reward people, so it is rare in auction houses, and this calligraphy and painting work should cost at least 20 million yuan."

Gu Lishi immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, you can already make a solid profit when you buy this antique shop just because of the works of the Three Emperors' Royal Brush."

"Of course, pack carefully."

Li Mo asked Sima Haotian to do it, after all he is a good hand in this field. I continued to look at other calligraphy and paintings, and after a few steps, I said, "Here is another work by Bada Shanren, which is not bad."

A total of three oil paintings and four Chinese antique calligraphy and painting works were found in this area, which is full of harvest.

There is nothing to see in the last miscellaneous area, and there are many things that Li Mo doesn't understand.

"Mr. Qin, what to do with the rest?"

Steven looked at the remaining items in the store. All the valuable items had been counted out, and the rest were basically ordinary items. Perhaps the gold and jade ornaments in the gold, silver and jade area were still of some value.

"Keep things first, and then transfer this shop after the Antique Festival is over. After everyone packs up their things, take a rest for now. In May, Dashan, you guys follow me to the back warehouse to have a look."

"yes."

There is a door at the back of the antique shop, and when it is opened, there is a corridor, which not only has a resting and sleeping room, but also a kitchen and warehouse. The warehouse lock has been scrapped. After pushing the door and walking in, I found that the warehouse is quite large, covering more than 20 square meters. In addition to packing boxes, tapes and other things that are commonly used in daily life, there are two rows of steel frames and six box.

The shelves are all porcelain, in different shapes. Li Mo took a pen holder from above, and looked at it with the help of the light above his head. The pen holder was made of blue and white glaze, and the stories of the characters were depicted on it. Turning to the foot of the circle, there was a seal script inscribed in the Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty.

"The first piece of porcelain in the warehouse is the genuine Qing Kangxi blue and white character story pen holder."

Li Mo put it back to its original place, and picked up the second piece of porcelain, which was in the shape of a bean, imitating a bronze bean from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, but a piece of yellow-ground famille rose. There are nine dragon patterns and some cloud patterns.

Look at the bottom foot again, there is a regular script style made in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Let me go, the second one is also genuine, it is Qing Guangxu Yellow Ground Fen Cai Yunlong Bean.

The third piece is Qing Kangxi blue and white lady's goblet.

The fourth piece is a Qing Jiaqing blue and white flower and fruit pattern holding pot.

The fifth piece is a Qing Kangxi multi-colored lady painting pen holder.

The sixth piece is a jade pot spring vase with famille rose flower and butterfly pattern in Xuantong period of Qing Dynasty.

The seventh Qing Kangxi plain three-color lotus pond swimming duck jar.

The eighth piece is a plate with eight trigrams pattern in Kangxi fighting color in Qing Dynasty.

The ninth piece is the Qing Dynasty Xuantong rouge water blue and white Eight Immortals bowl.

. . . . . . .

The porcelain placed on the steel racks in this warehouse are all genuine products, and some styles of porcelain have never been seen by Li Mo, such as the Qing Kangxi Doucai Bagua plate, which he does not have in his hand, and he has never seen it in the Kyoto Museum. The key point is that a total of forty-two pieces of porcelain placed on the steel frame are all authentic porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, which surprised Li Mo very much. Now he is very curious about the original owner of this antique shop. How did he collect it? So many authentic ones?

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin."

May called softly a few times.

Li Mo came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You've been in a daze, is there something wrong?"

"May, you call Sima Haotian and Steven in. The porcelain on this shelf is all authentic from the Qing Dynasty. There are a total of forty-two pieces, and some of them are rare and orphaned pieces. Let's pack them up first. , and then shipped out.”

"yes."

May hurriedly went out to call for someone.

"Mr. Qin, all the porcelain on the shelf is genuine. You think those boxes are all genuine, right?"

Da Shan pointed to the six wooden boxes stacked in the corner.

Li Mo looked around, there was a long wrench where the other party’s packing box was, picked up the wrench and walked to a wooden box, pried off the wooden strips on the outside of the wooden box, then pried off the wooden box lid, opened it, and found that there were What turned out to be two bronzes.

He trembled in his heart, and bronze wares appeared in this antique shop in Seattle. He took out one of them with both hands, recalling clues about the bronze in his mind.
