Chapter 199 The old man's suggestion
Yang Jing really had no idea about Pu'er tea, so he naturally didn't know how much effort his second brother Sun Aoran had put in to get these two tea cakes. However, seeing that Mr. Yang liked these two tea cakes so much, Yang Jing knew that he was definitely giving the right gift this time.
After the old man happily "hidden" the two pieces of old round tea like a child, Yang Jing asked the old man to appreciate the treasures he brought.
The first thing the old man saw was naturally the Dongbi sword. In the words of the old man, this sword has something to do with him.
The old man said nothing nonsense. Although this sword was the Qiankun magic sword worn by the Medicine Saint Li Shizhen in his later years, after the Medicine Saint passed away, the sword was displaced and eventually fell into the hands of the last Regent Zaifeng, becoming the new owner of the Dongbi sword and the last master.
The old man’s teacher, Master Qi Gong, is named Aisin Gioro, and is the junior of the last regent. Although Master Qi Gong had never seen this Dongbi sword when he was young, he knew that Li Shizhen’s Dongbi sword was in the hands of his elder regent. Master Qi Gong once mentioned this matter to Mr. Yang. Otherwise, when Yang Jing was identifying the sword that day, when Yang Jing mentioned the name of the sword on the phone, Mr. Yang immediately confirmed the true identity of the master of the sword.
"The teacher had never seen this sword when he was young, but the teacher had heard of this sword. If the teacher was still alive, he would definitely be very happy to see this sword." Mr. Yang sighed a little. His relationship with Master Qi Gong was absolutely profound. Now that he saw this sword with his own eyes, can this old man not remind him of the teacher who is separated from heaven and earth again?
After a while of emotion, the old man put down the sword and picked up the Longquan Ge Kiln Flower Trouble.
The old man looked at it carefully for a while before he smiled and said, "Xiao Jing, you can buy this plate well, you can buy it well! If I read it correctly, this plate should be a Longquan Ge Kiln, not a Shishi Ge Kiln."
Yang Jing had known the origin of this flower-mouth plate through the ring identification, so he was naturally not surprised that the old man said so.
Mr. Yang gently put down the flower mouth plate and said, "So far, the only kiln in the Five Kilns of Song Dynasty is Ge Kiln. People all use 'gold wire' as the main feature of Ge Kiln, but in fact this understanding should be wrong. My teacher and I have studied Ge Kiln for a period of time. The teacher once said that in the official kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty, there were 'gold wire' characteristics. Later generations are very likely to regard the porcelain characteristics of the official kiln as the characteristics of Ge porcelain, which caused a chaotic situation in which Ge Guan was inseparable. The Ge kilns in later generations were imitated according to the characteristics of 'gold wire', so this formed the current situation of the different characteristics of Ge Kilns and Ge porcelain recorded in ancient texts."
"In fact, the opening line of Longquan Ge Kiln is white, which is very consistent with the 'light white broken pattern' recorded in ancient texts. Except for the Longquan Ge Kiln that meets the characteristics of this 'light white broken pattern', other inherited Ge Kilns do not meet this feature. However, there are very few Longquan Ge Kilns, and not many people have actually seen it. Therefore, most players do not pay much attention to the color of the opening line and think that as long as the opening line is a Ge Kiln or imitation Ge Kiln, this is a wrong understanding."
"The teacher once judged when he was alive. He said that the so-called Ge Kiln is actually more than 90% of the possibility that it is Longquan Ge Kiln!"
The old man shook his head slightly and sighed, "If the teacher is still alive now, there will be a final result about Ge Kiln and Longquan Ge Kiln, and this result is the result that the teacher once judged."
After a pause, the old man looked at the flower-mouth plate and said, "Xiao Jing, no matter what the final result of the argument between Ge Kiln and Longquan Ge Kiln is, your plate is indeed a Longquan Ge Kiln, and the number of Longquan Ge Kilns is extremely rare. Now there are only about 300 pieces of Ge Kilns in the world, and the number of Longquan Ge Kilns can be counted with one slap! The discovery of your plate is of great significance to the dispute between Longquan Ge Kiln and Ge Kiln! So Xiao Jing, it is best to preserve your plate well."
Yang Jing nodded with certainty and said, "Grandpa Yang, don't worry, I will never take any action on this plate. I also plan to have the opportunity to open a private museum in the future. Such a precious Longquan Ge Kiln is enough to be my treasure of the museum. How could I sell my treasure of the museum?"
"Oh? Do you want to open a private museum?" When the old man heard this, his interest suddenly came up.
"Well, this is just a mid-term goal for me. Grandpa Yang, I actually happened to encounter a market a few days ago in the rural suburbs of Yanjing. At that market, I bought nearly 800 kilograms of manuscripts and documentary materials at the price of buying scraps. These manuscripts and documentary materials alone are enough to support me in opening a small museum. However, I think these manuscripts and documentary materials alone are far from enough, so I plan to work harder in the past few years, get some more treasures, and then open a private museum that is not inferior to Ma Weidu and Ma Lao."
Mr. Yang nodded with a smile and said, "Well, your kid's ambition is good. When Xiaoma opened his Guanfu Museum, he invited me to give me some advice. I have to say that Xiaoma has made enough efforts in those years to open such a large museum. Xiaojing, I hope your museum can surpass Xiaoma's museum."
Mr. Ma is a top celebrity in the domestic collection industry, but in front of Mr. Yang, he is an absolute junior. The old man’s “little horse” kept silent, and no one can say anything else.
The old man picked up a manuscript, looked at it and said, "Is this the original manuscript of Master Lu Xun's "After the Miscellaneous Talks after the Sickness"?"
Yang Jing nodded and said, "Grandpa Yang, I think this manuscript is the original manuscript written by Master Lu Xun."
The old man said in disbelief: "This is really rare. There is a master's manuscript of "After the Miscellaneous Talks after the Sickness" in the Lu Xun Museum, but that manuscript should be the master's "copying manuscript" when compiling the collection of articles. The "copying manuscript" has almost no traces of deletion and modification, and some only have a small amount of polishing, so there are basically no traces of deletion and modification. But this manuscript is different, with a large number of deletion and modification on it, which is obviously the master's manuscript that was from that year. Tsk tsk, this manuscript is more reference and research value than the "copying manuscript" stored in the Lu Xun Museum!"
After saying that, the old man read the manuscript carefully with great enthusiasm, picked up the manuscript by Master Mao Dun and looked at it. The smile on his face never stopped, and he was happy like a child who saw his beloved toys...
Yang Jing and Princess chatted with the old man for a long time, making the old man smile.
Before leaving, Yang Jing took out a jade plaque and gave it to Mr. Yang.
"Grandpa Yang, I asked someone to carve this jade plaque in Yanjing. I unraveled the jade myself. It was so big. Later, Uncle Cai Yi introduced me to Uncle Jiang Bin, and Uncle Jiang, who carved it for me."
The old man did not take the jade token, but asked, "Jiang Bin? Jade carving? Is the Jiang Bin you are talking about Jiang Yucheng's youngest son?"
"I don't know what Uncle Jiang's father is, but I know that his father is also a jade carving master. He has worked in the Palace Museum and seems to know you too."
Hearing Yang Jing say this, the old man laughed. "If this is the case, this jade token is indeed from Xiao Binzi." As he said that, the old man took the jade token and looked carefully, "Well, it's not bad. This kid has 10% of his father's skills. If he accumulates well, it will not be impossible to break through the master's realm."
After saying that, the old man wanted to return the jade to Yang Jing again.
Yang Jing waved his hand and said, "Grandpa Yang, I gave this brand specifically to you. I also know the story of my grandfather using his ancestral jade token for that fake painting. I know the relationship between you and my grandfather over the years, so this time I specially asked Uncle Jiang to carve two jade tokens, one for my grandfather, so that he would continue to keep it as a family heirloom, and the other one was to be given to you. You can't refuse."
"No, Xiaojing, this brand is too expensive, I can't accept it." The old man refused very happily.
"Precious? Grandpa Yang, you're really wrong. First of all, the Hetian jade used in this brand was untied from a Kunlun stone I bought for 380,000 yuan. The stone was sold as a Fengshui stone, but I thought that the stone looked like a huge Gobi material, so I untied the stone and took out nine kilograms of Hetian jade from it."
"But I cut this piece of jade in half. The stone was too big, with a weight of more than 700 kilograms. The first cut was very good. But because my knife misjudged the direction of the jade meat inside, I cut a piece of whole material into two pieces. I used the small piece to make a jade bracelet, a pendant and a jade plaque. As for the big piece, it weighed 6.5 kilograms. I left the piece of material with Uncle Jiang. He said he wanted to use this piece of jade to carve a flying seal for me, and the flying fairy on it used my wife as a template..."
Speaking of this, the princess next to him smiled embarrassedly, while the old man nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, it's very suitable to use this girl as a template. If this square seal is carved, I believe Xiao Binzi has a great possibility of breaking through."
"Yes, Grandpa Yang, Uncle Jiang said the same thing, so I left that piece of jade with him. This is the origin of the jade used in this brand, and it didn't cost much. And Uncle Jiang carved these things for me, so he would stare at me, so the cost of this brand is probably only tens of thousands. Do you still say that this brand is expensive?"
When Mr. Yang heard this, hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head firmly.
The princess next to him said, "Grandpa Yang, just take this brand as Yang Jing respects you. When my grandmother celebrated her birthday, Yang Jing asked me to choose a bracelet of Hetian jade as a gift. No matter how expensive this brand is, it is not as expensive as that bracelet, right? So, you can take it! It is said that jade nourishes people, people raise jade. You are so old, you can play with this brand. When you play until you are 100 years old, you may be able to play with this brand."
Hearing the princess say this, the old man was happy. "You girl, you are so good at speaking. Okay, since Xiao Jing insists on respecting me, old man, wouldn't I be sorry for Xiao Jing's intentions if I don't accept this brand? Well, I've accepted this brand and I will try to give you a piece of jade that has passed down for you until I'm 100 years old..."
The old man smiled and took the jade token and rubbed it happily in his hand. Obviously, the old man liked this jade token very much.
Yang Jing and the princess looked at each other, and smiled on their faces.
They were about to say goodbye and go out, and the old man suddenly said, "Xiao Jing, you just said you were going to open a private museum in the past few years. I wonder where you plan to choose the location of this museum? Is it Yanjing or our Tianqu?"
This question really caught Yang Jing. The opening of a private museum was just an idea that he had just had, and he had never thought about how to operate it.
Yang Jing shook his head and said, "Grandpa Yang, I really haven't considered this matter carefully."
The old man looked up and looked at the dead sun outside the window, then said: "If you set up a private museum, the collection must be rich. Otherwise, just relying on the manuscript documents you have found and the old objects you have accumulated in your hands may support a small museum, but it has no characteristics."
"The name of the museum occupies the most important position, so you still need to work hard. As for the location, I have some ideas. I suggest you put the museum in our Tianqu."
"Why?"
"Haha, although our Tianqu is just a fourth-tier city and the passenger flow is not large, don't forget our Tianqu's convenient transportation. If I guess it's good, the construction of our Tianqu Airport will begin in two or three years. At that time, our Tianqu has an airport and many highways and high-speed rails. It will be very easy to come to Tianqu. And if the things you bought are attractive enough, not only can the government make the best arrangements for your building location, but your museum will also attract many tourists to our Tianqu, which can also be regarded as contributing to our Tianqu's economy."
After a pause, the old man continued: "But if you put the museum in Yanjing, your collection is extremely rich and excellent. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to compete with national-level large museums such as the Palace Museum, Libo, and Military Museum. Moreover, the cost of building a museum in Yanjing is extremely high, and there is almost no place in the city center for you to build a large enough museum. So..."
The old man didn't finish his words, but he really directly analyzed the pros and cons for Yang Jing.
The old man looked at Yang Jing with a smile and said another sentence.
