Chapter 133: Battle

Xu Yaohui understood this piece of blue and white porcelain, he felt that there was no need to see it.

He asked Zhou Xia and Liu Yuqing to do the appraisal first, while he himself continued to fight with Yang Tianhong and Xu Songmin.

Xu Songmin and the others also expected it. Zhou Xia and Liu Yuqing came with them, and they were definitely not here to play. For the younger generation, they followed them to see things and got more hands on them. They always had good knowledge.

Moreover, Xu Songmin also knows Liu Yuqing. They are all from Donghai circle and are also famous beauties. Even if Liu Yuqing doesn't remember him, he still remembers that Liu Yuanshan has such a granddaughter who is outstanding in ability and can stand alone at a young age.

Zhou Xia and Liu Yuqing had no intention of listening to their words, nor did they have the intention to insert them.

Zhou Xia thought that if he got this precious cultural relic, the price would be better not too high. In essence, he was still poorer than ** silk and could not afford a too high price.

Liu Yuqing, the purpose of her coming here is to examine Zhou Xia's performance and personally experience how he got his super magical record. Secondly, she has never given up studying. Instead of waiting for food in a restaurant, it is better to go out and see more things and increase experience. The education of the Liu family is quite successful. Liu Yuqing deeply knows that doing this industry requires continuous accumulation, and the accumulated experience and abilities are all their own, and others can't grab them even if they want to.

Just now, even Zhou Xia was not proud and complacent because of her previous achievements, and was still constantly looking for all opportunities to improve himself. Liu Yuqing was very pleased with this and gave him a lot of encouragement and support. At the same time, this was not a kind of encouragement for her. She was originally a competitive person. Although she might not be as talented as Zhou Xia, she would be very embarrassed if she was pulled too far away.

This Hongwu blue and white porcelain will not be discussed how it performs.

Just from Xu Songmin's confident and at ease, we can see that he is full of confidence in this thing.

Liu Yuqing is a good at identifying people, and she has her own unique experience in terms of human nature, especially when it comes to people's attention. Otherwise, she would not have discovered a talent like Zhou Xia.

Putting aside these, just looking at the performance of this blue and white porcelain moon-wrapping bottle, it really lives up to everyone's expectations for it.

Let’s talk about this look first.

Hold the moon bottle.

Small mouth, straight neck, and both ears on the side of the neck are named because the abdomen of the bottle is like a full moon, so it is named, also known as "Baoyue Bottle".

Among the porcelains in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is a relatively common shape. In the Ming Dynasty, the most famous one is the blue and white moon-wrapping bottle in Yongle and Xuande.

However, the shape of the moon-wrapping bottle in front of me is similar to that of Yongle Xuande's blue and white moon-wrapping bottle, but there are still considerable differences in specific performance.

First of all, the color of the blue and white hair.

Compared with Yongxuan blue and white porcelain, it is much dimmer and is considered a unique gray-blue color in Hongwu.

Those who play with porcelain know that Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, liked underglaze red. During the Hongwu period, the most famous porcelain was also underglaze red. During his reign, the main ones were underglaze red, which was less blue and white porcelain.

However, after the later King of Yan Zhu Di, who created his nephew, Emperor Jianwen, came to power, the porcelain was fired, which was reflected in the fact that he had a completely different side of his bloodthirsty and violent personality. The blue and white porcelain of the Yongle period was dignified, beautiful, elegant and exquisite, which was really shocking, fully demonstrating the versatility of people.

Not only Liu Yuqing, but also Zhou Xia learned about this history, he even wondered if Zhu Di was aware of it. He deliberately fought against his son Zhu Yuanzhang, which was clearly manifested on porcelain.

Zhu Yuanzhang likes colorful and majestic underglaze red. Zhu Di felt that it was meaningless to go to the same old path as him, and he could not reflect his own personality. He wanted to create blue and white porcelain that was different from Zhu Yuanzhang, and it would be better than the ancestors.

Otherwise, how could it be explained that Yongle blue and white porcelain surpassed the classic Yuan blue and white porcelain in one fell swoop and set a precedent for a generation. It was more than the Hongwu blue and white porcelain.

Ignore these random guesses. Now the two of them are just looking at the performance of the blue and white porcelain at the moment.

There were not many Hongwu blue and white porcelains that Liu Yuqing had seen, but this did not hinder her understanding of this blue and white porcelain. Only in the Hongwu period did blue and white porcelain have such performance.

This is also because of the materials used. Only domestic Leping materials can present this typical gray-blue blue and white. Such blue and white hair color is much dimmer than Yongxuan blue and white, and even Yuan blue and white.

This is also the reason why the underglaze red prefers red and does not pay much attention to blue and white during the Hongwu period.

After Zhou Xia got the real product, he was wondering why the system recognized it as a precious cultural relic. He felt that this thing was not particularly outstanding in blue and white porcelain.

It is incomparable to other Yongxuan blue and white porcelain. Compared with the Hongwu period, the Hongwu jade pot spring bottle that was sold for more than 20 million yuan and had a stable color is also far from that.

If you want to find faults, Zhou Xia can pick out a lot. Needless to mention Chong and Xiaoque, the color of blue and white hair, the tithing repair process, and even the porcelain body. Because it is Raozhou jade soil, the performance is not as good as that of Yongxuan blue and white kaolin. People are very skilled and refined, the fetus is pure, and there are fewer impurities. This moon-holding bottle is relatively rough.

Zhou Xia thought about it and only thought of one reason, was it because this piece of blue and white porcelain is relatively rare?

Or, this was not fired during the reign of Hongwu and Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is a work made during the reign of Emperor Jianwen?

This is quite possible.

Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen was reigned for only four years, but his uncle Zhu Di was kicked off the throne and disappeared. In order to show his orthodox nature as emperor, Zhu Di removed the reign of Emperor Jianwen. In the fourth year of Jianwen, he turned it into the 35th year of Hongwu, and Hongwu also came out for four more years.

It is said that history was written by the victors. Zhu Di changed his reign title, but after becoming emperor, he wanted to erase all the evidence of Emperor Jianwen's reign. Historical books were hit by the grazing, and the items used and the porcelain they fired during Emperor Jianwen's reign were all unlucky.

Because Emperor Jianwen was missing, he sent people to search everywhere, but unfortunately he failed to do so and became the first-class strange case in history.

Zhou Xia thought about this. If this piece of blue and white porcelain was burned during the reign of Emperor Jianwen, it would really be the basis for the systematic identification of precious cultural relics.

Scarcity makes things more valuable!

Of course, in modern times, when people identify porcelain, they still habitually call porcelain fired in the Jianwen and Hongwu periods Hongwu period Hongwu porcelain. The porcelain from the Jianwen period was not divided separately.

On the one hand, follow the crowd.

On the other hand, it is not easy to prepare to identify the age of porcelain.

Even if there are instruments of the detection age such as thermal optics, it is still quite difficult to get to the year.

As a result, Zhou Xia became more aware of how powerful his archaeological identification system was.

If this is to be spread, a large number of experts and scholars will ask him to go over and do appraisal. Some porcelains that cannot be dated and cannot be accurate in calligraphy and painting works, as long as they know their general age and their research work can make a qualitative leap.

Not to mention that like the system, it is accurate to the specific year.

After this, Zhou Xia asked the system to conduct identification.

The final conclusion was that “the object was created in 1402 AD.”

Zhou Xia fully understood that this piece of porcelain may be the last batch of porcelain fired by the gentle and cowardly Emperor Jianwen during his reign. It is already quite difficult for such a piece of porcelain to be passed down intact and not be smashed into several pieces.

And the blue and white porcelain after that will be returned to Yongle blue and white porcelain.

After understanding these things, Zhou Xia thought about how to get this thing at the lowest cost.

He also took the time to take a look at Yang Tianhong's performance. He seemed to like this thing more. Once the competition started, the price would increase. If Zhou Xia grasped the balance, he would be a little unsure.

But he must take this thing down. In this way, there are four precious cultural relics he collected! Although the goal of 100 pieces is far away, he feels that it can be achieved. Only in this way can he have motivation. If he really wants to achieve an unattainable goal, Zhou Xia is afraid that he will not be confident to continue.

"Zhou Xia, what do you think of this thing?" After Liu Yuqing looked at it, she asked Zhou Xia, she wanted to hear his opinion.

"It's very good. The blue and white porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty was correct, but it was definitely not Yongxuan blue and white." Zhou Xia replied skillfully.

Liu Yuqing smiled, and she also said the same thing, "Do you want to ask Uncle Xu to see if he intends to buy it? I see that Boss Xu also knows very clearly that this porcelain is authentic, and it is difficult to reduce the price."

"I want to collect this porcelain! Please help me think of a solution." Zhou Xia expressed his own thoughts.

When he said this, Liu Yuqing was a little surprised, "Hey, I don't think this blue and white porcelain is particularly good. Why do you suddenly think about collecting it?"

Zhou Xia also replied, "We are collecting things! We always have to keep things for ourselves and communicate them all, which is meaningless, right? We have discussed it before. The price of this Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain will definitely not drop, even if it is a long-term investment! But I am not strong now, I can't afford to collect the Yuan blue and white porcelain and Yongxuan blue and white porcelain. The price of this Hongwu blue and white porcelain is not high. If the price is right, I will still have the opportunity to try it. Otherwise, if I go out in the future, I will be embarrassed to say that I am collecting it."

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "That's the case. We can't forget the true meaning of our collection. Then we have to discuss it with Uncle Xu later. I see that Boss Yang is also very interested in this thing."

"Just try to get it at the lowest price, you can't get it cheaper." This is Zhou Xia's bottom line.

Liu Yuqing made it clear, and she also suggested that it would be better for Zhou Xia to propose it herself.

If Zhou Xia wanted to collect it on Xu Yaohui, he would definitely not compete with him, nor would he say that he would be shameless about collecting it together.

Xu Songmin knew Liu Yuqing. Relatively speaking, Zhou Xia was a strange face. Whether it was Yang Tianhong or Xu Songmin, they didn’t know his background, so there was room for great potential.

Zhou Xia thought about it, and he had never done it before.

That's it!

The two of them had decided to discuss this, and Xu Yaohui and others were fighting fiercely over there.

In fact, at this time, Xu Yaohui had completely given up his thoughts about this blue and white porcelain. He always bought low and sold high in antique business. If there was no profit, no matter how good the thing was, he would not touch it. Unless it was something he really moved by and wanted to collect.

At this moment, he didn't really want to fulfill Xu Songmin's wish and compete with Yang Tianhong for such a piece of porcelain.

Xu Songmin watched from all directions and listened to all directions, so naturally he did not forget to take care of the two young people brought by Xu Yaohui, especially Liu Yuqing, whom he could not ignore. After watching the two identify the porcelain, Xu Songmin asked them with a smug look on his face, how did the porcelain perform? Do they like this question?

Zhou Xia also replied, "Boss Xu's Hongwu blue and white porcelain has many minor problems, but it is barely acceptable if it is indeed a genuine Hongwu product from tomorrow morning, so it is okay to collect it. Of course, the price cannot be too outrageous."

After hearing Zhou Xia say that she wanted to collect this porcelain, Xu Yaohui immediately felt that this matter was not easy to deal with.

"Well, people have different opinions! Just compete fairly." Xu Songmin was happy, because he was afraid that the old fox Xu Yaohui, who saw through his intentions, deliberately did not compete with Yang Tianhong.

Now that it's good, Zhou Xia, this naughty young man jumped out. No matter what, Xu Songmin can take advantage of the best interests.

Maybe this piece of porcelain can make Xu Yaohui and Yang Tianhong become enemies, which is the scene he most hopes to see.

In fact, as long as Zhou Xia shows a little bit of meaning, Xu Songmin can climb up. What's more, judging by Zhou Xia's meaning, he really wants to collect it.

Yang Tianhong felt a little stunned after hearing Zhou Xia's words. If Xu Yaohui was fighting with him, he would think it was nothing. Knowing Xu Yaohui's identity as an antique merchant, he would definitely not be able to get up early without profit, and both sides would be very restrained.

But it is hard to say about the young he brought.

Young people today don’t take money seriously, but they go to too much.

For them, it is quite a pleasure to step on people with money, especially those who are more famous, which is their favorite thing to do.

Yang Tianhong doesn't want to be the target of being trampled. Of course, he will be more rational, it depends on how Zhou Xia performs. Judging from the current situation, Zhou Xia doesn't want to fight him to the death, and he also expressed kindness in his words.

But this thing is what Yang Tianhong likes, so he naturally won't let it go easily.

Since it has become a competitive situation, it is useless to say that those things are useless, it depends on how their bids are.

Xu Songmin was also very good at grasping the atmosphere and said, "Everyone is friends, and I don't want to see everyone get hurt by it. Otherwise, each of you two wrote the price on paper to me. How about the higher ones? "

Such a situation is naturally unfavorable for Zhou Xia. If he lowered it, it would be a great regret for Yang Tianhong to snatch it. If it is too high, it would be able to take it down, but for Xu Songmin, the unscrupulous businessman, it would be too cheap for him.

At that moment, Zhou Xia shook his head and said, "It's not good to do this. Boss Xu, why don't you give me a price? Mr. Yang and I will bid in person. Whoever gives it to you will give it to you will give it to anyone?"
