Chapter 315 Puyi's court clothes

"Is that true? Mr. Feng, your copper furnace has an unusual origin?" Zhang Junping smiled.

"That's natural, this is a secret treasure of the Qing palace. The last emperor Puyi mortgaged the Xuande furnace to the Bank of Communications..."

"Mr. Feng, your story is very wonderful, but the inheritance is orderly not about who's story is wonderful.

To listen to the story, I went to Panjiayuan and Liulichang. The stories of those who bought antiques are much more exciting than what you told." Zhang Junping curled his lips and smiled sarcastically.

"It's different, I'm not a story!" Old Feng said as he took out a kraft paper-wrapped package from the box.

When I opened the kraft paper, there was a layer of kraft paper inside. I opened five layers of kraft paper in a row to reveal what was inside, and it was still a cowhide bag.

Old Feng carefully took out a stack of documents from it.

"Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the old man was the youngest comprador of the Bank of Communications." Old Feng said proudly.

Zhang Junping looked at Lao Feng with some differences.

"This old thing is so hidden!

The bank comprador before the founding of the People's Republic of China was not something that ordinary people could do. First, they had to understand English, and secondly, they had to have a certain industry or credit guarantee at home.

This old guy actually pretends not to understand English."

"This Xuande furnace was bought at that time. The documents here are the procedures for Puyi's mortgage loan at that time, as well as photos of the records collected by the Qing Palace secrets."

"Uncle Feng, according to your age, time seems to be unmatched?" Zhang Junping questioned softly.

After the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1912, Puyi continued to live in the palace and was not driven out of the palace by Feng Yuxiang in 1924.

In the past twelve years, in order to maintain his luxurious life, Puyi sold many Qing Palace Secret Collections.

Some of the Qing Palace Secret Collection that was stolen among the people were stolen by eunuchs and palace maids, and a large part was sold by Puyi.

"Haha, I didn't say that I personally handled the loan business for Puyi.

My father is also a comprador of the Bank of Communications. It was the mortgage loan business my father had for Puyi back then...

But this loan business was not included in the account of Bank of Communications, but was bought back by my father in private...

It took my father a total of ten small yellow croakers at that time!" Old Feng told another more exciting story.

"The story is wonderful, with ups and downs..." Zhang Junping applauded gently.

"Master Zhang can look at this document from the Bank of Communications, or let the people from the Bank of Communications identify these documents. They are all true..." Old Feng applauded Zhang Junping with a sarcastic applause, not angry at all, but explained seriously.

After saying that, I picked up another document, which was a yellowed ancient book. "There are also these. These are files that record the secret collection of Qing palaces. My father specifically asked Puyi to find him and Xuandelu as a mortgage!"

"Puyi had been making a lot of things out back then. Uncle Feng was so thoughtful, so his father didn't collect more?" Zhang Junping did not continue to worry about the authenticity of Xuande Lu, but asked with a smile.

Although he didn't read the ancient book, Zhang Junping basically believed Lao Feng's words. The yellowed ancient book was the original work, and Zhang Junping had such a Qing Palace archive in his hand.

The Qing Palace archives record various secrets in the Qing Dynasty palace, including records of the daily lives of emperors and concubines in the harem, and records of secrets in the Qing Palace, with records of everything in detail.

During the Republic of China, in order to raise military expenses, Feng Yuxiang's army sold 150,000 kilograms and 8,000 sacks of Ming and Qing palace archives to sell waste paper, and a total of 4,000 yuan was sold.

In addition to a small number of them being collected by those who are interested, the country later took back less than one-tenth of them, and a large number of precious archival and classics were also damaged and lost. In this regard, Feng Yuxiang can be regarded as a sinner of history.

And Old Feng's father is obviously a person with a heart.

"Of course there is one, but this one has not been negotiated, so it is not easy to take out the one behind." Old Feng stroked his beard and smiled calmly.

"If there is one, you might as well take it out and price it one by one!"

"Okay!" Old Feng hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked into the inner room again.

I took out a wooden box again. The wooden box was very finely crafted and used more exquisitely. The material of the small-leaf red sandalwood is carved with cloud dragon patterns on it.

This is another antique treasure box from the Qing Dynasty, which is of great value.

Open the treasure box and reveal the items inside, it is a golden item.

Zhang Junping's eyes shrank, and it turned out to be a bright yellow dragon robe.

"Uncle Feng, can you get started?" Zhang Junping asked directly at the bright yellow clothing in the treasure box.

"Please give me some advice!"

Zhang Junping stood up, put on gloves, and carefully picked up the bright yellow clothing.

I picked it up and found that this was not a dragon robe, but a dress.

The clothing of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was divided into three categories: dress, auspicious clothes, and regular clothes.

The dragon robe is a small piece of auspicious clothes, including auspicious clothes crown, dragon robe, and dragon gown.

Dresses are the highest-standard clothes worn by the emperor, and they can't be worn several times in their lifetime.

Emperor Shunzhi reigned for seventeen years and wore dresses seventeen times in total, an average of once a year.

In fact, you can’t wear auspicious clothes a few times a year. They are usually sacrifices and important occasions for marriage.

The most worn clothes are still regular clothes.

Because the dress is worn less, it can only be worn on major occasions, such as sacrifices to heaven, ascension to the throne, and grand dynasty meetings. Therefore, the regulations are particularly strict. To put it more simply, among the three types of emperor costumes, dresses are the most expensive and the collection value is the highest.

In the treasure box are full set of court clothes, court crowns, end covers, robe clothes, and replenishing clothes.

But this dress is a bit small, and it is estimated that it is worn by a child aged three or four.

"This is the dress that Puyi wore when he first ascended the throne!" Old Feng said from the side.

Zhang Junping nodded, this was a match. When Puyi first ascended the throne, he was three years old and his dress was small. This was the right thing.

What Zhang Junping picked up was the court robes in the dress. The court robes were directly in front, one regular dragon was embroidered behind and on both arms, five folds were embroidered with rows of dragons, nine groups were embroidered with skirts, two regular dragons, four rows were embroidered with shawls, and two regular dragons, and one sleeve was embroidered with sleeves.

There are also sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, flower insects, bulbs, and bulbs on it. These are the eight-chapter patterns that belong to the clothes among the twelve chapters.

Clothes, clothes are tops, and clothes are bottoms.

The top is eight chapters with sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, flower insects, fu, fu, and lower skirts with four chapters with algae, fire, Zongyi, rice flour, and twelve chapters with patterns in total.

Although this piece is a small court wardrobe, it is still strictly made and made in accordance with the Qing Dynasty palace regulations, and is not bad at all.

Puyi ascended the throne three times, and when he was the first time he ascended the throne, the dress was carefully made according to the rules of the Qing Palace.

The last two times, each time is worse than the other.
