Chapter 26 A Bunch of Lotus Plates
"According to your request, I have arranged for someone to start renovation. Can I take away my own things now?" Qiu Han, who came to the second floor, said to Concubine Li who was floating in the air.
"Of course, but I want to declare; I am not doing this to threaten you, your things are your things, and these things have no practical meaning to me. I just hope you can understand that this home is our common home in principle. As a family member, I have many rights, such as renovating houses, keeping valuables, being responsible for living expenses, etc. But unfortunately, I am a ghost, not a human, and I cannot do many things myself. And since ancient times, there has been a famous saying, "Men will become bad if they have money," so many things need to be counted on you to complete in the male owner of our house, but I don't want another family member to take different women home for the night every day."
"Okay, then I also want to declare that from a legal perspective, this is my home, I bought it with money, so this is not our home, and those things are mine, so there is no need for a housekeeper, and whether I become bad or not has nothing to do with you."
"I will be sad if you say this. Since we have decided to live in peace, I treat this matter with a sincere heart. Should we maintain the necessary respect between us?" Concubine Li said resentfully.
The smile on Qiu Han's face gradually disappeared: "It seems that you told me that nonsense is the most unbelievable thing. If you want to lose both sides, I can definitely satisfy you."
"Okay, okay. I still prefer the colder one."
Concubine Li made a concession, perhaps her purpose was to test Qiu Han’s bottom line.
A room in the corner of the second floor was filled with treasure chests brought back by Qiu Han, but only a part of them was brought back.
According to rough statistics, the treasure chests brought back are one box of silver ingots and one box of gold ingots. The most valuable ones are two boxes of porcelain, most of which are mainly blue and white porcelain. Well-preserved porcelain is definitely a huge wealth. Any piece will be sold at an auction for no less than one million yuan. There are also two boxes filled with jewelry, spices, various special tributes, swords and armor. These things are also valuable.
Although I did not bring all the boxes back, the treasures in the boxes in front of me made Qiu Han no longer need to work in the future.
Prying open a wooden box filled with blue and white porcelain, Qiuhan chose a medium-sized plate from the exquisite blue and white porcelain pottery.
In the antique market, porcelain has always been a hot topic, especially the blue and white porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, which is recognized as another porcelain art image that has achieved extremely high achievements after celadon, black porcelain, blue and white porcelain and color porcelain. In recent years, it has been sought after by the antique market. He once saw the introduction of the porcelain selected by Qiu Han on an auction page, "Ming Yongle Blue and White Lotus Plate", with an estimated price of about 2 million yuan. As a classic style of blue and white lotus plate, it is neither eye-catching nor low, and it is completely in line with Qiu Han's current needs.
Carefully wrap a bunch of lotus plates, Qiu Han brought the plate to the antique shop "Come on and on" and Lord Buddha was still sitting in the tea room and tasting the tea. The relationship between Lord Buddha and the ancients was simply a simple offering relationship. Over the past few years, Lord Buddha has been doing things equivalent to the ancients' sons. Even though the utilitarian color is very strong, it still makes the ancients very comfortable. However, with Qiu Han's arrival, things seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.
When Qiu Han entered the door, Gu Lao was identifying a calligraphy and painting. Although calligraphy and paintings are also popular in the antique market, like jade products, there are too many imitations of calligraphy and paintings, and it is difficult to appreciate them. Gu Lao did not stop his work because of Qiu Han's arrival, and each step was done more meticulously and slowly, and he would also be accompanied by explanations at critical moments, as if he was intentionally helping Qiu Han learn knowledge.
"The current antique market's eyesight knowledge is still basic, but these high-techs are gradually becoming a necessary means. Even with the development of science and technology, we old antiques will be laid off one day. Therefore, scientific and technological archaeology is not an emerging discipline, but a mainstream discipline in the future." said the ancient saying that ended the work at hand.
"Thank you for your advice, I will study hard and never let you down your old expectations."
"Well. This is your ID card. I have completed the adoption procedures. From now on, we will be a family." After washing our hands, Gu Lao handed Qiu Han an ID card, a real ID card recognized by the state. Looking at the photos and names on the ID card, Qiu Han was a little excited and said to this grandfather who always surprises him: "Thank you grandpa."
"Silly kid, you are my grandson, what are you grateful for! Show me the things in your box."
"Yeah." As Qiu Han said that, he placed a bunch of lotus plates in front of the ancient eyes.
When Qiu Han saw a lotus plate handing over, Qiu Han keenly noticed a flash of light flashing in his ancient eyes. The reason why porcelain is sought after is not only its superb craftsmanship and the historical and cultural value it carries, it is also that the existence of porcelain is difficult to escape the baptism of time. Unlike jade or other antiques, porcelain is fragile and difficult to preserve in objects, and the most extreme thing is that one piece is broken and one piece is less.
"The lotus pattern is a traditional design that has lasted for porcelain paintings since the Song Dynasty. The body of this plate is fine, white and firm, neatly decorated with body, lush glaze, pure and flawless, and the blue and white hair color is naturally bright. A bunch of lotus is painted on the inner bottom of the plate, with flowers blooming in full bloom, competing for beauty, surrounding branches and leaves are lush and lush, with ribbon knots tied on the flower stem, floating slowly in the water waves, setting off with the variant tangled lotus surrounding the inner wall of the plate. Especially the well-preserved, it is definitely a rare fine product." The ancient said without any haste.
"Grandpa, if you like it, you can give it to you."
"Qiuhan, I have said before that I will not pursue the origin of your antiques, and I really don't know how these fine products of yours come from. I can't find out the origin of the antiques through my channels, and others can't find out. But grandpa has to remind you that it is a sin to bear a treasure, and you must be careful in everything. Never let those who are interested see it. This porcelain plate is indeed a fine product, but grandpa has long passed the age of being sought after."
"Thank you for understanding, I didn't mean to hide it from my grandfather."
"Okay Qiu Han, Grandpa is so old that he can't see through what he can't see."
"Grandpa, you are the best. I have something to trouble you. A friend of mine is seriously ill, so I want to sell a bunch of blue and white lotus plates to raise some money to help him treat his illness."
After hearing this, Gu Zhang was silent for a moment and said, "For friends, you should pay attention to treasures. This is to ignore wealth and righteousness. However, in the antique industry, it is a principle of value, so my grandfather is not short of money, but he cannot give it to you unconditionally. Moreover, no matter how good the things are, they are just things, which are far less important than people, especially antiques. "Ancient" is second to "play" and 'play'. I will help you contact the recent auction of this item. Because I handle it, I need to get a 10% handling fee."
Gu Zhang took out a bank card and said, "There is one million in it. You can take it for emergency treatment first. After a bunch of lotus plates is taken, I will deduct it from my income."
Qiu Han was a little moved after taking the bank card handed over by Gu Zhang.
"Okay, you can leave in advance today. If you have anything to help in the future, just tell me directly." Gu Lao said with some doting.
With this million, at least half of the hope. In the evening, Qiu Han came to the food court located in the West Night Market in Chengxi. However, time passed little by little, Meng Yao Ge not only did not appear, but even his phone was turned off. Qiu Han's stubborn and cheerful face appeared in Qiu Han's mind, "Qiu Han knew that for people like Meng Yao Ge who pursued and had ideals, if it was not silent help, it would be a gift, and even a trampling on his self-esteem."
