Chapter 773 Ancestral Object
"It's not about me, it's a friend of mine." Yu Yao explained.

"Well, this kind of thing is usually said to be a friend's thing." Sui Yi said again, "However, you came to Shanghai specifically, don't you want that?"

"Did you drink a lot at noon? It's really not my business, and you don't need to contact me. You can just help me find out. Experts with high standards and medical ethics will be finished."

Sui Yi didn't fully sober up before joking like this, but when he heard Yu Yao's tone became serious, he stopped there, "Don't worry, I will definitely ask you about this matter clearly."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Yao said to Xiao Ying and Zhong Yu, "I forgot about this, if I don't explain this clearly, it's easy to misunderstand."

"Those who make big things don't care about small things." Zhong Yu smiled, "There are a lot of things today, and I have to wait for news from several aspects. I think we should rest first."

Both Yu Yao and Xiao Ying nodded.

Nothing to say all night.Early the next morning, Yu Yao received a call from Du Ruhui. He couldn't help but pick up the phone, "Master Du, there is news so soon?"

"How can it be so fast." Du Ruhui explained, "Do you have any clues?"

"I just cast the net, and I haven't reaped yet."

"Then you have nothing to do today?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yao said, "No. Old man, if you have anything to say, just speak up, you're welcome."

"It's like this. I came back yesterday to sort out some things. I remembered that there were two ancestral items, and I also asked someone to look at them, but I always feel that they are not very authoritative. This thing, I can't take it out and ask others to look at it. Not now When I met you, I thought..."

"Okay, then I'll go and have a look. But old man, my eyesight is limited, so don't be offended if I can't see clearly." Yu Yao replied.The boss asked Du Ruhui to help, and besides, Yu Yao was also interested in hearing that there were antiques handed down from his ancestors to see.

"I'm already very grateful for your coming to see me." Du Ruhui said with a smile.

Du Ruhui still lives in the police dormitory, an old building, but in the downtown area of ​​Shanghai, it is also a place where every inch of land is expensive.

The doorman of this dormitory is very strict, but Du Ruhui met Yu Yao at the gate of the courtyard.

The house has two bedrooms and one living room, it's not big, but the children don't live together, this house is just for Du Ruhui and his wife, so it's not too tight.

Du Ruhui's wife is a little fat, and looks very festive, with a smile on his face, "Oh, Xiao Yu is here, just come, why don't you bring anything?"

As she spoke, she swiftly took the two nutrition gift boxes brought by Yu Yao.

There is no reason to come to the door empty-handed for the first time, Yu Yao bought a gift before coming here.

Du Ruhui let Yu Yao into the study room, and put washed fruit and brewed tea on the table, "It's not a good tea, this year's Quen Tong from Qianbei, try it."

"The old man is too polite."

"You guys, old and young, chat first. I'm going to buy vegetables, and I'll have dinner at home at noon." Du Ruhui's wife went out after saying hello, and Yu Yao didn't finish saying "you don't have to be busy".

Du Ruhui waved his hands, "She couldn't be idle at all."

The two drank tea and chatted for a while, Du Ruhui continued, "Then shall I take out the things first?"

Yu Yao smiled and nodded, "I'll feast my eyes too."

What Du Ruhui took out was a red sandalwood box with mortise and tenon joints. This box has turned purple and black, and the coating is shiny. It is at least an old object from the Republic of China period.

Yu Yao thought to himself, Du Ruhui said two things, take out one first, just look at the box, expect the things inside to be unusual!

The red sandalwood box has a hidden buckle. Pull out the side and pull out the top to remove the lid.

After looking inside, Yu Yao finally realized that both of them were in this box!

There is a partition in the middle of the box, and the size of the two spaces is very suitable. It must be a special box for these two things back then.

These two items were all porcelain, and as soon as they were laid out, Yu Yao got up immediately, "I'm going to wash my hands first."

Du Ruhui couldn't help being slightly taken aback, then nodded again.

When Yu Yao came back, he stared at these two things for a while, and then picked up a petal-shaped mouthwash.

This washbasin is not big, with a diameter of only ten centimeters. It is glazed with pink blue glaze, the glaze surface is shiny and full of cracks, and there are small ice cracks vertically and horizontally between the large pieces.The soles of the feet were not glazed, exposing the iron-colored fetal bones.

After Yu Yao finished watching, he let out a breath slowly, "Is this something, people who are looking at it are not sure?"

"what do you mean?"

"Song Dynasty official kiln pink celadon glaze sunflower wash, no doubt authentic! There is also a similar one in the Forbidden City, but it is larger in caliber than yours; at the same time, yours is also later."

"Oh, it's because there is a similar one in the Forbidden City, and that expert thinks it's not true!" Du Ruhui sighed.

Yu Yao smiled slightly, "Don't say that the piece in the Forbidden City is bigger than yours, and the year is earlier than yours. Even if it is the same year and the same size, how can it be affected by this? It depends on the thing itself!"

"Is it true without a doubt?"

"I think it's okay." Yu Yao nodded and said, "I'm not afraid to find the most authoritative expert for such a heavy weapon. So, the expert who is skeptical..."

Du Ruhui sighed, "Actually, my grandfather also thought it was an official kiln of the Song Dynasty, otherwise he wouldn't have put so much effort into it."

"I've also read some treasure appraisal columns, and I don't like the words of some experts the most: If the one in your hand is real, it's fake in the Forbidden City!" Yu Yao smiled slightly, "There are some in the Forbidden City, why can't the folks Is there any? Especially porcelain, when the same materials, the same workmanship and the same style were made, more than one piece was often fired."

Du Ruhui clapped his hands and said, "In the final analysis, you have to have eyesight and insight!"

As he spoke, Du Ruhui stretched out his hand and pointed to another piece of porcelain.

This is a paper mallet bottle, not too big, only sixteen or seventeen centimeters high.The glaze color is gray-green, very plump, and also has a large area of ​​slits.

Purple mouth and iron feet, gold and iron wires.

"Isn't this one also from the Song Dynasty?" Du Ruhui hesitated when he asked, which meant that he himself thought it was impossible.

"Old man, what do you think?" Yu Yao asked while looking at it in his hand.

"As the saying goes, there is no distinction between officials and elders; but this one should not be an official kiln, but an elder brother's kiln; but it is not from the Song Dynasty, I am really not sure-it does not seem to be the same faintly; I asked two experts to see it, and both I feel like it’s an afterthought.”

"Do they think it was an imitation of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty? Or an imitation of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty?"

Du Ruhui couldn't help giving a thumbs up when he heard the words, "You can guess this? Of these two people, one of them thinks it's Ming Dynasty Chenghua imitation, and the other thinks it's Qing Dynasty Yongzheng imitation!"

"You also asked these two to look at your sunflower wash from the official kiln of the Song Dynasty?"

"No, it's one of the two."

"Is it the one who thought Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes!" Du Ruhui showed surprise.

Yu Yao smiled, "My personal suggestion, don't ask him to look at porcelain in the future!"
