Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhou Xia knew that if Zhu Xiufang and her family were interested in buying something like this worth nearly ten million, they would not be able to send it over without Zhou Xia.  They will also go to the auction preview to see what happens.  After all, it is worth more than ten million, and everyone's money does not come from the wind, and they will not be disposed of casually without careful appraisal.

    The two brothers Zhu Xiuquan and Zhu Xiulin were not particularly confident about this painting.

    Zhou Xia can understand this. They do not have the same archaeological identification system as Zhou Xia. No matter how much Zhou Xia advocates, this painting from 1644 has been systematically identified as a precious cultural relic. It is still useless to them.

    Therefore, even though he knew that these people were the most likely to buy the painting at the auction, Zhou Xia was still in a peaceful mood, at most, a little fanciful.

    When Zhou Xia said goodbye and left, the brothers and sisters could not come up with a unanimous opinion. Fortunately, Zhou Xia agreed to lend them this painting for a period of time, so they still had plenty of time to slowly evaluate and discuss it.

    Fang Xue and Zhou Xia left together, and Zhu Xiufang and Fang Rujian didn't hold them back.

    When sending them out, Zhu Xiufang once again thanked Zhou Xia for her generosity in borrowing the painting, and Zhou Xia naturally treated her modestly and politely.

    "It can be seen that Professor Zhu is very optimistic about you." Fang Xue said after leaving Zhu Xiufang's house.

    Zhou Xia smiled and said, "This is also the credit of your introduction, Xiaoxue. Not only did it open my eyes today, but I also learned a lot. I have to digest it well when I go back."

    Fang Xue believed that she had nothing to do with her. If Zhou Xia hadn't been willing to take the trouble and lend the painting out, Zhu Xiufang wouldn't have looked at him differently.

    The two walked around the campus and chatted for a while, reminiscing about their past college life.

    Fang Xue was about to go back to the dormitory, and Zhou Xia saw that it was getting late, so she went home.

    On the way and after returning home, Zhou Xia also roughly sorted out today's gains, and then went to bed to rest.

    There are thoughts in the day and dreams in the night.

    Zhou Xia unexpectedly dreamed of Fang Xue in her dream. It had been four or five years since she last appeared in her dream.  At that time, he had just entered college. He had too much hormone secretion and was bewitched by his roommate. He didn't know what the world was, so he chased others in a confused way.  The result was naturally disastrous. Although Fang Xue had given him a lot of face, looking back on it afterwards, Zhou Xia felt extremely ashamed.

    After such a long time, Fang Xue's temper in the dream is still the same, but Zhou Xia now lacks the courage he had at that time. Even in the dream, the dominant idea is that it is good to be friends.  What's more, after Zhou Xia came out to work, she had a new goal, Liu Yuqing.

    Until the alarm clock was adjusted to wake him up, and while washing up and recalling all the things in his dream, Zhou Xia was still wondering to himself whether he liked the new and was not tired of the old.

    These are all false and unrealistic fantasies. Zhou Xia quickly threw them out of his mind. After packing up, he took his backpack and cash and set off to the ghost market.  For him, "walking around every day will make you healthier."

    Zhou Xia can only exercise through running.  He wanted to learn a few tricks from others to defend himself, but unfortunately he couldn't spare the time and didn't have a suitable master to teach him, so he had to give up.

    He also said that we use our wisdom to win, not our muscles.

    Indeed, his main area of ??activity now is in big cities. Unlike some antique dealers, who go to remote rural areas abroad to hunt for treasures, not to mention the countryside, the risk is much greater.

    Zhou Xia also feels that his current health is not bad. At the very least, he is healthy and free from illness and disaster.  If you sleep less than eight hours a day, you won't feel listless.

    Zhou Xia attributes all of this to his youth and good physical fitness. Of course, it may also be the benefits that the archaeological identification system has brought to him.

    After thinking wildly along the way, Zhou Xia soon arrived at the ghost market.

    "Very good, I didn't bump into that old man Zhao Xiangbo again today."

    Zhou Xia came neither early nor late today. He did not bump into Zhao Xiangbo head-on as he did in the past few days. Otherwise, it would have been a lot of trouble.

    This is a good sign!

    Zhou Xia believes so.

    He is very good at numbing himself.

    What he didn¡¯t say, Zhou Xia still walked around the stalls to see if there were any new products compared to yesterday.  Zhou Xia didn't have to waste time thinking about things he had seen a few days ago.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Zhou Xia couldn¡¯t see anything he liked at the dozen or so stalls.

    He was thinking about it, nowWhen he was about to leave empty-handed again, a piece of porcelain jumped into his eyes.

    It¡¯s a big white bowl.

    But the condition is very bad.

    The peony pattern on the outer wall was scratched one after another, which was terrible to look at.

    The inside of the bowl was also dirty, and it looked like it had been smeared on purposely.

    Apart from anything else, the scratches on the surface were simply shocking. Zhou Xia wanted to say, "Who did this? He was dragged out and chopped!"

    This is a typical Ding kiln porcelain.

    Ding kiln white porcelain was famous in the Song Dynasty and fired in the Tang Dynasty.

    Ding kiln porcelain, in addition to being distinguished by the year of firing, is also divided into private kilns and official kilns.

    Ding kiln porcelain, known as one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, actually refers to the porcelain fired by the Ding kiln official kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty.

    Even without getting started, Zhou Xia, who now has excellent eyesight, could tell from the overall shape and decoration of this large bowl, the color of the white porcelain that was not exposed much, and the texture revealed by the scratches, that this was  The porcelain is most likely the work of Ding kiln in the Song Dynasty.

    The reason for this judgment is that there are obvious differences between the Ding kiln works of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Ding kiln works of other periods.  It feels particularly tough, with sharp outlines, clear texture, and relatively dense texture.

    Although Zhou Xia fell in love with this suspected Ding kiln bowl at a glance, he still didn't rush to do it.

    First, just take the plate next to it, which also looks like Ding kiln white glaze, to show off.

    He didn¡¯t have much time to make a detailed appraisal at this time, so he directly asked the system to identify the large bowl with only serious scratches.

    Soon, the system gave the identification result, "This item was created in 1023 AD."

    Zhou Xia could react without even thinking too much. This year was during the Northern Song Dynasty.

    " However, the year of firing alone is not a guarantee. Whether this large bowl is from an official kiln or a private kiln requires careful identification to know.

    As for the Ding kiln plate in Zhou Xia¡¯s hand, he knew it was a fake without even looking at it.

    Although Ding kilns were fired from the Tang Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, no dynasty showed such obvious modern characteristics.

    Zhou Xia gently put down the plate in his hand and took his fancy to the large bowl that had the typical white glaze characteristics of Ding kiln in the Song Dynasty, but was also severely damaged.

    What a waste of natural resources!

    Zhou Xia can only say this.

    I don¡¯t know who made this piece of porcelain look like this.

    Even Ding kilns from private kilns are of considerable value.

    What's more, according to Zhou Xia's observation, if it weren't for the scratches on the outside of this big bowl, its quality would still be a bit higher than that of ordinary folk kilns.

    When Zhou Xia was looking at something, she was also paying attention to the situation around her.

    A Ding kiln bowl like this is definitely eye-catching.  There is no other reason. This appearance is really shocking.

    Especially after Zhou Xia held it in his hand, it became even more eye-catching.

    Zhou Xia felt that several eyes were on it.

    This also made him determined to take it down as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary complications.

    "Boss, how do you sell this bowl?" Zhou Xia asked simply.

    The boss asked for a price, "One thousand."

    "Ten yuan!" Zhou Xia felt that the boss was actually not too outrageous, but how could he not repay the money on the spot and immediately quote a price and go back.

    The boss shook his head repeatedly, "Brother, are you kidding! I can't even keep ten yuan."

    Zhou Xia also shook her head, "The appearance is like this. I originally only wanted to give you five yuan, but seeing that you are honest, boss, I gave you a few more yuan."

    "Eight hundred, not even one cent less."

    How could Zhou Xia be willing to let it go? However, since the other party lowered the price, he still wanted to give him face and added another ten yuan.

    Those who can do business here are not ordinary thick-skinned, and they are sure to be careless.

    Zhou Xia was also addicted and had a great time bargaining with him.

    There were people watching the excitement, and some people even said, "I don't want to pay for something like this. If someone is willing to buy it, just thank God!"

    These words fell into the ears of the boss, which naturally made him feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, he lost the confidence to discuss the price with Zhou Xia.

    In the end, Zhou Xia successfully got it for fifty yuan.

    That¡¯s it, others?I feel like he just has money and nowhere to spend it.

    There are many people who hold this view.

    Fortunately, Zhou Xia thought that others were coming to snatch things from him, but unexpectedly, he was despised by others.

    You must know that it is not easy to find someone to take over something that is in such serious condition.

    If you are collecting it yourself, it is not suitable. The scratches on it and the messy things in the bowl make people feel upset.

    To put it bluntly, if you buy a high imitation product with a similar price and put it at home, it will look better than this thing.

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid, only Zhou Xia doesn¡¯t feel that way.

    He thought it was worth buying a large bowl from Ding kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty for fifty yuan.

    Of course, Zhou Xia would definitely not say this to others.

    After he gave the money, he was ready to put away his things and leave.

    ¡°I never thought that his transaction would already attract a lot of people.

    Before he could put it away, he met an acquaintance, someone he didn't really want to meet.

    ¡°You kid, you¡¯re collecting things again!¡± Zhou Xia was just glad that she didn¡¯t bump into Zhao Xiangbo, but now he appeared out of nowhere.

    Zhou Xia is not surprised by this. Anyway, Zhao Xiangbo has nothing to do and can hang out every day. It would be strange not to meet him. Meeting him is the most normal thing.

    "Yes!" Zhou Xia nodded.

    "How dare you buy something in such a poor condition! Let me see it!" Zhou Xia had already finished handing over the goods anyway, and Zhao Xiangbo watched the excitement unceremoniously.

    Originally planning to put it in the bag, Zhou Xia stopped such action after hearing this.  He originally wanted to find a place to put the porcelain, but he thought that Zhao Xiangbo was still outside. If he wanted to put it on the stall, he would have to squat down to pick it up.

    Zhou Xia simply planned to hand it to him directly, but Zhao Xiangbo did not accept it, but said with a smile, "Hey, you are planning to break the jar!"

    After Zhou Xia heard this, he took it back. "You are right as you always said. This is not the way to break a jar. I'd better put it away first."

    Zhao Xiangbo was dumbfounded, "You kid, really put it away!"

    "Things worth fifty yuan are not worth mentioning, so just treat them as if they were picked up. Let's find a place to look at later!" Zhou Xia wanted to understand clearly, looking like he had a lot of money.

    Zhao Xiangbo was speechless for a while. Seeing Zhou Xia put it on quickly, he muttered, "This kind of thing looks like an old thing at first glance. It's possible to repair it, but the cost will definitely not be small."

    After hearing this, the onlookers didn't think much of it. So what if it was an old item. Unless it was really white-glazed porcelain from the Ding Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, buying such a thing would still be a loss.

    Zhou Xia also knew that Zhao Xiangbo was right.

    Such a work must be repaired by an expert.

    ¡°Otherwise, the appearance alone would be enough to be intimidating.

    What¡¯s more, in addition to these scratches on the surface of this piece of porcelain, there are also flushes, that is, there are cracks on the porcelain.

    It can be said to be full of scars.

    After he put the porcelain away and squeezed out of the crowd, Zhao Xiangbo also asked Zhou Xia, "Why do you want to buy such a horrible piece of porcelain?"

    "Just buy it if you like it. It's only fifty yuan anyway, and a meal is more than fifty yuan!" Zhou Xia explained.

    "You have become rich now. You don't regard money as money." Zhao Xiangbo looked at him with a smile, "Why do I always feel that you are a little dishonest! Could it be that this thing is really a work of the official kiln of Ding Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty.  "

    Zhou Xia shook her head in confusion, "I didn't see it too clearly. I just saw how many people were watching, so I thought they wanted to grab it, so I just bought it first."

    Zhao Xiangbo suddenly burst out laughing, "You're a very interesting kid. There were a lot of people watching just now, but didn't you see that they were all looking at you like you were a fool?"

    Zhou Xia said, "I only noticed this later, but it doesn't matter. Just take a gamble. If it's really good, you'll be rich!"

    Zhao Xiangbo expressed doubts about this, shook his head and said, "Without the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, it is so easy to find things with white glaze from Ding kiln official kiln. There are quite a few things like this from Ding kiln white glaze private kilns, and many of them are in good condition.  Yes, the price is not high either. If this thing of yours is really from a private kiln, the price for it to be repaired by a master is higher than the selling price, and you still owe someone a favor, so why bother."

    Zhou Xia smiled and said, "If it's really a private kiln, it's just a matter of repairing it or not."??¡±

    "You're a cruel kid!" Zhao Xiangbo didn't know what to say. He was eager to see the true face of Lushan, but unfortunately Zhou Xia had already put it away.  It was still early and he could still wander around the market for a while, so he didn't force it.

    At the moment, Zhao Xiangbo and Zhou Xia continued to stroll in the market.

    Zhao Xiangbo rarely takes action. Although Zhou Xia is unwilling to be lonely, he really has too few opportunities to take action.  He was interested in a piece of dragon and phoenix jade pendant from the Warring States period, but when he asked about the price, it was almost as high as the sky. He didn't have much money in hand now, so he didn't buy it.

    Although Zhao Xiangbo tried his best to confuse Zhou Xia, he remained motionless.

    He felt that there was no need to invest his limited funds in such a common object, and he didn¡¯t know how easy it would be to sell it!

    "If he sells it for 500 yuan, I might buy it!" Zhou Xia told Zhao Xiangbo.

    Zhao Xiangbo laughed at that time, "You think other people who come to sell things are fools!"

    Zhou Xia smiled, "I don't care if they are fools or not. I'm not a fool anyway. I just won't pay such a high price to buy them."

    Zhao Xiangbo was speechless again.

    When the two of them visited the ghost market, they finally met Xu Yaohui.

    Unlike Zhao Xiangbo, Xu Yaohui is relatively busy and does not come to the ghost market every day. He comes to the ghost market more often to inquire about market conditions and find out what is new, rather than to pick up missing items.  Of course, what he calls new things are imitations that have never been seen before. Only by knowing these things well can his antique business be prosperous. He sees this very clearly.

    Hearing that Zhou Xia had bought something new, Xu Yaohui was also very curious, "Where's the white porcelain from the official kiln of Ding Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty! One of the five famous kilns, I really want to see it."

    Zhou Xia looked at the instigator. Zhao Xiangbo looked calm, as if he was not the one who had just raised this porcelain to such a state.

    "Don't listen to Mr. Zhao's teasing. I haven't had time to appraise it carefully, and the quality of this thing is very poor. I'm afraid it won't catch your eye, Uncle Xu!" Zhou Xia was also very helpless.

    "How could it be! I believe in your eyesight, Zhou Xia, and you will never buy something bad. Just go to my place and take it out for everyone to take a look at. I recently collected two more things, and I also want to invite Uncle Zhao and Zhou  Xia, please help me with the appraisal!" Xu Yaohui warmly invited the two of them to his shop.

    Zhao Xiangbo naturally has no objections. He didn't have time to examine it carefully just now. If it is really a work from the official kiln of Ding Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhou Xia has undoubtedly picked up another big mistake.

    ¡°However, both Zhao Xiangbo and Xu Yaohui feel that the possibility of this is too low.

    There were not many porcelains from the five famous kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty, so the rare things were valuable.  Its value is naturally not low.

    Although porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties is the most popular and frequently fetched sky-high prices in the market, in the eyes of connoisseurs who really understand and like porcelain, the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty are their favorite porcelain.

    Moreover, there is a reason why Song Dynasty porcelain is not popular in the domestic market. The state restricts circulation, especially does not allow such porcelain to flow abroad. Invisibly, the price of such ancient porcelain is affected.

    Overseas, Song Dynasty porcelain has always been a sought-after target for top foreign collectors, and prices are also showing signs of recovery.  .
