Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After leaving the ghost market, Zhou Xia went directly to the company. At this time, he didn't want to go back to the rental house. There were many people talking and it was not safe to put things there.  He planned to leave the red glazed cup and the jade paperweight at the company first, and then go back to the antique shop on the antique street after get off work to see if there was any chance to sell them.  It was still early at this time, and the antique shops were not open yet.

    The ghost market is not too far from the company. It only takes about twenty minutes to walk there. Zhou Xia walked slowly and passed by a breakfast shop where he got up early. He was hungry and went in to eat a bowl of steaming noodles. This trip  The consumption in the ghost market was fully replenished.

    It¡¯s just that it¡¯s still very early. Zhou Xia looked at her phone. Although it was already dawn, it was not yet seven o¡¯clock, and the company hadn¡¯t opened yet.  He also planned to go to a nearby park to sit down and take a rest.

    The park is very lively, with many elderly and children, and many people running and practicing Tai Chi. Zhou Xia carries fragile items like porcelain with her, so it is naturally inconvenient for her to do these exercises, so she just found a chair to sit down.

    He didn¡¯t sleep well last night and got up early. He had just closed his eyes and was about to gather his thoughts, but he heard a childish voice asking, "Mom, why does this uncle come here to sleep!"

    "She's probably tired. Nanny, please don't follow his example. When you come to the park in the morning, you should exercise. Come and run with your mother." This mother is very good at educating her children, but she regards Zhou Xia as a negative teaching material.  .

    Zhou Xia opened her eyes and saw a very cute little girl, but she was shot while lying down.  Fortunately, he was dressed normally, otherwise, he would have been regarded as a homeless man sleeping in the park for the night.

    Zhou Xia suddenly lost the desire to sleep. It seems that it is too idle to go to the park to sleep at this time. Maybe it will be used as a negative example later.  With nothing to do, he sat up and took out the treasures he found in the ghost market to appreciate them carefully.

    He also wanted to carefully identify the differences in the performance of these collections under the strong light of a flashlight at night and under natural light. This is something worth learning from.  After arriving at the company, I was busy with work, but I didn't have time to carefully appraise these two treasures.

    The first thing he took out was the jade paperweight. The performance of jade under light is very different from that under natural light.  For example, jewelry stores are always bright and magnificent, and the lighting is quite sufficient. It seems that the jade inside looks like high-quality products, but once you take it outside to natural light, it will obviously become much dimmer.

    Zhou Xia was a little worried at first. The jade paperweight he bought would also have such problems.

    Fortunately, after he took out the paperweight, he found that his worries were somewhat unnecessary. This jade paperweight of a shepherd boy riding a bull and playing the flute performed quite well.

    It does not perform well in light, but poorly in natural light.  The surrounding dark brown jade has been cleverly used, transforming it into the body of a large buffalo and the hair of a shepherd boy. The quality of the whole piece of jade is also good, warm and moving.

    What is particularly rare is that there is a layer of patina on the surface of the jade, which is proof that it is old and requires long-term play to form.  When old experts appraise jade, they will pay special attention to the presence of patina.  This type of paperweight is different from the traditional ruler. Literati who like it often use it to play and appreciate, and its use as a paperweight is just an incidental function.

    Zhou Xia carefully observed the carving of the entire jade, trying to figure out whether this carving style belonged to a famous literati or sculptor during the Jiaqing period.  Although there is no inscription on it, it can guide others to think in this regard!

    He was very fascinated by the appraisal, but as a result, people running in the park who had to pass in front of his chair couldn't help but stay away from him.  Everyone is not afraid that he will come to the park early in the morning and get crazy, but they are afraid that he is a dabbler. Come to think of it, if it is really a good thing, he will take it out to make a certificate of intoxication in public, and hide it and refuse to reveal it.  of.

    Zhou Xia didn't notice this. He was immersed in his own thinking and used his brain to filter out all the famous people during the Jiaqing period.

    He didn¡¯t notice at all. Everyone else wanted to stay away from him. After an old man discovered this situation, he walked straight towards him.

    "The younger generation is to be feared!"

    Before Zhou Xia could figure out who to lean on, he suddenly heard such a voice. His psychological quality was very strong. It doesn't matter whether he was thick-headed or slow to react. Anyway, he was not scared, and there was no handle.  Throwing things on the ground.

    Zhou Xia looked up and saw a familiar face. Soon, he figured out where he had seen this person. Wasn't it the old man who wanted to buy this jade paperweight in the ghost market before him?

    "Old sir"Something happened?  "Zhou Xia pretended to be confused, pretending to understand.

    The old man admired his acting skills very much. Even though he was old, he had bright eyes. When he was discussing the price with the stall owner in the ghost market, he also noticed that Zhou Xia was nearby.  Later, he turned around and found that the paperweight had been sold. He also guessed that the young man might have bought the paperweight. Unfortunately, he was not sure at that time, so it was impossible to follow up and ask.

    The old man asked him, "Do you know me?"

    Zhou Xia shook her head and felt strange secretly, "I don't know you! What's wrong? Could it be that the old gentleman is famous?"

    "That's weird!" the old man murmured in a low voice, and then quickly added, "When I was in the ghost market just now, I was the first to take a fancy to this paperweight, but I didn't expect you to beat me to it, so I said that young people are terrible!  "

    "No, it's just a fluke." Zhou Xia looked at him warily, and others could understand that sense of precaution without having to tell others.  Although he respects the old and loves the young, he will not use his own interests to be a good person unnecessarily.

    ¡°Can you let me admire this paperweight?¡± The old man simply sat down on the bench next to him.

    "Okay! It seems that the old gentleman is definitely an expert in collecting antiques. I and other younger generations will have to ask the old gentleman for advice!" Zhou Xia immediately agreed to this request. He was not afraid that the old man would collect his antiques in broad daylight.  Baby snatched.

    Although the old gentleman was the first to take a fancy to this treasure, now that it has been bought by Zhou Xia, as long as he sticks to the bottom line, it is impossible for him to take the treasure away from him by force.

    If the old man really likes it, then he can pay for it. Of course, the price must be similar to the market. Zhou Xia is still short of money!

    He also has another way, which is to exchange for his own treasure. Both of these methods can be considered.
