The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 370 Funeral objects?

With the end of Lou's family affairs, a few more days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Weiguo's life gradually returned to calm.

Weekend, night.

In the early morning, after one o'clock.

Li Weiguo opened his eyes and woke up.

As usual, I still glanced at the clock to confirm the time, then turned over lightly and got up, changed clothes and attire, and put on a mask and hat.

After everything was tidied up, Mimi quietly went out to put away her bicycle, and turned over from the corner.

Now, it has been a week since the last time I provided materials to the three of Lao Fu and his son. It is estimated that after such a long time, they have sold out that batch of materials, and it is time to go to them to settle the bill.

There must be fresh meat and fresh eggs to open the way. This time, Lao Fu's harvest should be good, but I don't know how many good things Lao Fu can help him collect this time.

After leaving the courtyard and letting out his bicycle, Li Weiguo found the direction, got on the bicycle and jumped out.

Relying on the super night vision ability at night, he left Nanluoguxiang, made seven turns and eight turns, and arrived near the root of Xihuangcheng in a short time.

He glanced at the crowded ghost market from a distance, and instead of joining in the fun, he turned a corner, got into a small alley, and headed straight for the house of the second son of the Fu family in a familiar way.

When they arrived at the courtyard of the Fu family, the second child of the Fu family had already been waiting there. After Li Weiguo put away his bicycle and went up to knock on the door, the second child of the Fu family who was guarding the door ran over and opened the door as soon as he heard the movement. .

"Master Li."

"Well, go in and talk."

"Okay, Mr. Li, please come in."

Li Weiguo didn't talk nonsense, he stepped into the yard, scanned the left and right with his mind, and after confirming his safety, he walked into the second courtyard with confidence.

After entering the second courtyard, after a while, Old Fu and the boss of the Fu family came out of the main room one after another after hearing the door opening in the front yard.

"Master Li, you're here." Old Fu greeted him first.

"Well, Master Fu, without further ado, let's get down to business first."

"Hey, okay, Mr. Li, please come to the house. Everything has been prepared for you." The old man bowed, stretched out his hand, and invited him into the house.

Li Weiguo nodded and followed the father and son into the house.

After entering the main room, the old Fu lit a horse lantern, and the dim light immediately illuminated the main room a little, and at the same time revealed several large boxes stacked in the center of the main room.

Li Weiguo picked up the flashlight in his hand, turned on the light and took a picture of the boxes on the ground. Hey, there are so many things, there are eight big camphor wood boxes. It seems that this time the old man's harvest is really good.

Seeing the anticipation in Li Weiguo's eyes, the old Fu smiled and said: "Master Li, this time using fresh meat and fresh eggs to exchange things directly is much more efficient than using money to collect them before. The old and the young who are willing to sell, now they can't survive the hard life, and they are willing to exchange things with me when they hear that I have fresh meat and fresh eggs."

"No, after changing this week, a lot of miscellaneous items have been collected, and most of them are high-quality goods, hehe."

While talking with a smile, the old Fu stepped forward, and together with his two sons, opened the eight camphor wood boxes on the ground one by one, asking him to have a look.

The flashlight in Li Weiguo's hand scanned each of the eight boxes, followed the light, and quickly saw the contents of the eight boxes.

Not to mention, the old Fu's family has achieved quite a lot this time. Every box is packed to the brim. At a glance, there are all kinds of things. It is estimated that there must be at least four or five hundred pieces.

Three-color pottery figurines from the Tang Dynasty, black-glazed jianzhan from the Song Dynasty, jade urns, Yuan blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, underglaze red, blue and white porcelain from the Hongwu period, porcelain bowls from the Qianlong period, porcelain plates from the Kangxi period, snuff bottles, etc. There were all kinds of objects from all dynasties, which made Li Weiguo dazzled.

Seeing that Li Weiguo was looking a little dazzled, the old man handed over a few pieces of letter paper at the right time.

"Master Li, this is the list of items for this time. There are 420 items in total. In addition, there are 5000 large and small yellow croakers worth [-] yuan. Please have a look."

Li Weiguo took it with a nod, and looked carefully under the light of the flashlight.

The first thing that catches the eye is five large yellow croakers and 75 small yellow croakers, which are worth about 5000 yuan in conversion;

The second is the catalog list of more than 400 objects below.

Tang tri-color pottery figurines of ladies, five pieces, purchase price: 180 yuan;

Yaobian Tianmu Jianzhan of the Song Dynasty, three pieces, purchase price: 100 yuan;

Jade 卣 (yǒu) with animal face pattern from the Song Dynasty, purchase price: 45 yuan;

Yuan blue and white sea water white dragon pattern octagonal plum vase, purchase price: 27 yuan;

Underglaze red 匜 (yí) in Yuan Dynasty, purchase price: 20 yuan;
Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup, purchase price: 35 yuan;

Yongle's blue and white Shoushan Fuhai pattern tripod furnace, purchase price: 30 yuan;
Qianlong powder enamel hundred deer pattern double ear statue, purchase price: 28 yuan;
Yongzheng ink color landscape wood grain pen holder, purchase price: 23 yuan;
Kangxi Bean Green Glaze Cloud Pattern Horseshoe Zun, purchase price: 42 yuan;
All in all, the 420 six treasures cost more than 1 yuan in total, and the average purchase price was more than 30 yuan each.

The fresh meat and fresh eggs that Li Weiguo provided to Lao Fu before were worth 3 yuan, plus the remaining purchase funds of 6000 yuan before, it was almost 8000 yuan. After accounting for the objects and gold collected this time, The value is not bad, so it is a write-off.

As for the price difference and odds, Li Weiguo didn't care much about the difference between three melons and two dates, and regarded it as the hard work of the old Fu's family.

Looking at the list in his hand, Li Weiguo nodded with satisfaction, expressing his approval of Lao Fu's work.

There are so many high-quality old objects, although there are fresh meat and fresh eggs to open the way, but it is not so easy to collect so many high-quality goods, there is no certain network and relationship, and you don’t know where to collect good things. Woolen cloth.

Using a flashlight, Li Weiguo carefully looked at the list in his hand and compared it with the contents of the box.

After a while, he saw another treasure: an ivory summer mat from the Yongzheng period.

Good guy, Li Weiguo's eyes popped out when he saw this thing.

According to the archives of the Qing Dynasty, there were only five ivory mats in the country at that time, and Yongzheng ordered to stop the production later.

Because making an ivory mat requires splitting the ivory into thin slices of even thickness, grinding the slices very smooth, splitting them into silk, and finally soaking them in a special potion to soften them and weaving them into a mat.

In this process, the utilization rate of ivory materials is less than 10%, that is to say, more than 90% of ivory materials are likely to be scrapped, so the price of ivory mats is very expensive.

Of course, ivory mats are not only expensive in terms of materials. The labor required to make an ivory mat is exaggerated. It took 60 skilled craftsmen and 18 months to produce an ivory mat that satisfied the emperor.

After Yongzheng checked the craftsmanship and cost at that time, he was so distressed that his heart was trembling, so he explicitly banned the production of ivory mats.

Of these only five ivory mats, after several wars, only three were known to the world in later generations. As for the other two, they have disappeared, and the technology for making ivory mats has also been lost.

I am so lucky to see one of them here.

I don't know which eunuch or maid of honor brought this treasure out of the palace, but I let old Fu take it up by luck.

And when Li Weiguo looked at the price on the list, well, the purchase price is only 230 yuan, which is really a big mistake.

Looking at the long list of items in his hand, Li Weiguo couldn't help but feel elated.

Sure enough, the wealthy wealthy people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a lot of money. They could dazzle people just by taking out anything. If they came to ransack their homes later, how many good things would they find?

It seems that when the wind blows in the future, we can also focus on these survivors. We can't let the treasures left by our ancestors be ruined for nothing, Li Weiguo thought secretly.

After reading one page of the list, Li Weiguo continued to turn to the next page, but after reading for a while, he suddenly let out a "huh" and frowned.

Old Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he exchanged a glance with his two sons, thinking that something was wrong, he quickly bowed and asked, "Master Li, is there something wrong with the list?"

Li Weiguo didn't answer him in a hurry, but looked down carefully for several times, and then pointed to the details on the list and asked him: "Master Fu, the Hetian Yuchaotian, Yuchan, plum vase, and lacquerware are all Where do you put it? Find it and let me see."

Old Fu was stunned for a moment, recalled for a moment, then immediately walked to a box, and dug out the things one by one with his two sons.

The things were found, a total of 22 pieces, all neatly placed on the Eight Immortals table in the main room.

Li Weiguo took a flashlight and looked at the 22 funerary objects carefully. He couldn't help frowning and asked: "Master Fu, why are there so many funerary objects among the objects you collected this time?"

It's no wonder that Li Weiguo was curious. Although Lao Fu had received funeral objects a few times before, the number was not many, only one or two, so Li Weiguo didn't care.

For example, the tri-color pottery figurines of the Tang Dynasty are typical funerary objects of the Tang Dynasty. There were many tomb robbers in all dynasties and generations. It is not surprising that some people collect and sell these things.

But this time is different. This time, the old Fu collected not only Tang Sancai, but also Hetian Yuzhen Tomb Beast Chaotian, Yuyu Chan, and a large number of tomb gold and silver wares, lacquer wares, and plum vases. Objects from the Manchu period look like they were produced in the same batch at one time.

Although Li Weiguo is only half-baked when it comes to antiques and cultural relics, after collecting so many good things in the past two years, he still has basic vision and knowledge.

Those who can use Hetian Yu Chaotian as a tomb-suppressing beast, at least they must be relatives of the emperor, princes and nobles.

The royal relatives, princes and nobles in the Manchu Qing period?
Wouldn't it be so coincidental?
