Chapter 165 Tang Xuanzong's Green Crown to His Son
Lu Xin brought in a total of nine treasures, all of which were bronzes, gold and silver ware and other metal antiques. The auction house appraisal center quickly transferred another bronze ware, and experts from gold and silver ware came to help with the appraisal.
The rules here are that goods come that night, appraisal that night, and shipments that night, just to prevent the night from getting too long and dreaming.
Not long after, the old expert found out the origin of the Tang Wang Guan and smiled bitterly at Lu Xin: "Mr. Lu, I'm afraid you will lose money!"
Lu Xin was shocked: "Old sir, why did you say that?"
The old expert showed a strange smile on his face: "This is the crown of Li Mao, the son of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, Li Longji."
"Is there anything wrong with Li Mao's crown? How could I lose money?"
"Li Mao's first princess was Yang Yuhuan. Later, Yang Yuhuan was taken aback by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Li Mao became a cuckold son who was cuckolded by his father. Even if you bid his crown at a low price, it may fail to sell it, because this hat, no, this crown is unlucky!"
Prince Shou Li Mao is the 18th son of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. His mother was Wu Huifei, who was favored by the harem, but his identity was Yang Guifei's ex-husband. In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, King Shou married Yang Yuhuan, who was "raised in the deep boudoir and unknown to others", as his concubine in Luoyang. His life after marriage was happy and sweet, but the good times did not last long. In the 25th year of Kaiyuan, Li Mao's mother, the concubine Wu Huifei, who was deeply favored by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, died. The romantic emperor of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang missed Wu Huifei very much and was depressed. In the eyes of Emperor Xuanzong of the past, all of them looked like earth and had a taste. Some people recommended to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Yang Yu, the Prince Shou, who was very charming and proficient in music, singing and dancing, to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
Huan, Xuanzong peeked at his daughter-in-law taking a bath in Huaqing Pool. He had a bad idea and forced Yang Yuhuan to voluntarily serve as a female Taoist priest and pray for the empress dowager in the palace. Yang Yuhuan lived a life like the empress's Taizhen lady, while Li Mao could only live a depressed life in the house of the Sixteen Kings who dared not be angry or spoken, and carried a "cuckold hat" granted by his father. In the fourth year of Tianbao, the emperor's father remarried a new princess for 27-year-old Li Mao. Ten days later, the emperor appointed Yang Yuhuan as the imperial concubine. Li Mao and Yang Yuhuan completely drew a line from then on, one was a "son" and the other was a "mother". Later, when the prince Li Mao occasionally met the imperial concubine Yang Yuhuan and even bowed to the "Empress's Thousand Years" when he met the imperial concubine Yang Yuhuan.
When Lu Xin heard this, he was also amused and laughed: "I didn't expect to pick up a cuckold, it's so unlucky! However, it's not ruled out that someone is curious. Just put a minimum price of two million!"
The bronze Buddha statue was confirmed to be a bronze Buddha statue in the early years of the Sui Dynasty. At that time, Yang Guang, who was worshipped in the palace of the Houzhu of Chen, returned from attacking Chen, and left it in the river, but because it was the most ordinary Bodhisattva shape, the price of the auction was not particularly optimistic.
The bronze tripod was also confirmed to be the bronze cooker of the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Because similar tripods have already been released in China and have the same shape, the price of the auction is not particularly optimistic, but it will definitely be much higher than the price bought by Lu Xin.
The other six items were also confirmed as genuine, and the auction price was more than 20 or 30 times higher than Lu Xin's original purchase price.
The two old experts looked at Yang Dayan with admiration: "It's worthy of the big-sized big-eyed person. It's better than blue than blue. Let the two of us go to the Tiaojin Street to see it. It's impossible to pick out nine of them all. You can do it, you can't help but not help your father, you can stand alone!"
Yang Dayan looked ashamed: "Two old gentlemen, don't praise me. The one who really sees these nine things is my junior brother, Mr. Lu!"
The two old experts stared at Lu Xin in his early twenties with doubts. They only thought that Lu Xin was a rich second-generation who was fun and antique. They meant that they dared to come out to find treasures with Yang Dayan's help. Unexpectedly, he discovered these treasures by himself.
Lu Xin didn’t have time to be polite to these two old experts and smiled: “When will the shooting start?”
"We have identified more than 30 good things. Those high-ranking officials and nobles who are tired of playing cards and playing women will come here one after another!"
Lu Xin and Yang Dayan waited patiently for the buyers to come. There were more than a dozen people waiting with them. They were all people who had touched good things on the Golden Street just now. Compared with Lu Xin, who had touched good things completely and had nine good things, they usually only had one or two of them, and they were often one good thing and the other was fake.
Lu Xin later learned that some people do that, called hiding the clumsy. Even if they have special techniques, they are not as sharp as Lu Xin. Fortunately, they are on the dimly lit Golden Street. If they were in other places, Lu Xin would have been overwhelmed by others and would have been an inevitable trouble in the future.
The auction began, and Lu Xin and Yang Dayan, who were sellers, also walked into the venue and sat there to watch.
The order of auctioning antiques at this auction is neither in the order of the seller's registration nor in the price, but in the age. The earlier the cultural relics of that era, the more the auction will be. Lu Xin's Western Zhou bronze tripod was ranked first.
Lu Xin was a little nervous. If he was the first one, he would fail to take the photo, but it would be a bad omen.
The auctioneer is a girl with red lips and white teeth. She has a red suit with a snow-white shirt and a clean and neat ponytail. Her voice is crisp and pleasant. Although she is young, her aura is calm: "Please look at it. This is a bronze tripod... As we all know, the tripod is the most representative of supreme power among all bronzes. The earliest concept of power to unify the world in China is directly related to the birth of the tripod. If you want to win the world, if you want to win the world, whether it is wealth or power, you can buy a tripod to collect it. The tripod has a high collection value. Dingsheng International launched a warring gold and silver dragon headdress that started without a reserve price, and sold for tens of thousands of yuan... The starting price is 500,000 yuan, and each time the price is 100,000 yuan!"
I don’t know if it was the words of this female auctioneer that touched these nobles’ ambitions to win the world, or other factors, but people kept increasing the price, and kept raising this very ordinary Western Zhou bronze tripod to four million and bought it by a coal boss.
Lu Xin was very satisfied with the result. He turned out to have only spent 200,000 yuan.
After a few other people's goods, it was Lu Xin's turn to have a bronze statue of Sui Dynasty, starting at 200,000 yuan, and finally sold for 1.1 million yuan.
After a few more people passed, it was Lu Xin's turn to the crown of Li Mao, the King of Shou of the Tang Dynasty.
When the auctioneer talked about Li Mao's son, many people below were confused and had to continue to show that Li Mao was Li Longji's son and Yang Yuhuan's ex-husband. Someone below laughed: "Li Mao's father gave him a cuckold, this is Li Mao's cuckold!" As soon as this was said, the female auctioneer didn't know how to continue, so she could only bite the bullet and announce a starting price of one million and an increase of two hundred thousand at a time.
At first it was cold and silent, but later a woman raised the sign: "One and two million!" Another female rich man also raised the sign: "Add two million!" The third female rich man shouted: "Two million!"
All men were embarrassed to raise the sign, and the bidding game was launched between the rich women. Finally, it was taken away by a female rich man who was doing real estate. It is unknown how she collected and hyped it. Anyway, Lu Xin made money. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
