Chapter 39 [The third piece of Yuanqinghua]
Uncle Wu and his wife refused to have lunch invitation. I wrapped the ancient porcelain pieces and waved goodbye to Xiaodong. Xi Mansha probably had something to do and didn't eat at his house, so she went downstairs together. When she got off the bus at the bus stop sign in front of Lizeqiao long-distance station, the cell phone in Teacher Xi's bag rang. Look at her slightly nervous expression, it was probably called by the man she was pursuing.
Across the road is a clothing tail goods wholesale market. Many foreign merchants are waiting for the car with large bags of clothes, shoulder to shoulder.
Xi Mansha was squeezed off the bus stop. She blocked her ears and pressed the answer button: "Hey, I just came out of Uncle Wu's house. Let's go find you now... Ah, I've called several times? Sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't hear the phone ringing on the road... You, don't be angry, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry..." On the phone, Xi Mansha kept apologizing. After a long time, "...I won't eat anymore? Why? Didn't you agree... Your mother? Ah, don't, I, I still won't tell her anymore... No reason, I'm a little scared."
The bus I was going to take had already entered the station, but looking at Teacher Xi, I still didn't leave.
"Then, okay." Teacher Xi looked pitiful: "...hey, aunt, hello... no... no... no... don't say that, I, I will definitely treat him well, I swear... I have had surgery and the disease has stabilized... Auntie, give me a chance, please... I really want you..."
Ten minutes later, a sad and miserable sigh came to an end to Ximansha's plea.
She hung up the phone and pulled the chain of her hand bag in a depressed mood.
I paid attention to her expression and comforted her: "Actually, I think your conditions are really good."
"What's so good." A deep inferiority complexion appeared on Teacher Xi's sickly face: "Congenital heart disease cannot be completely recovered by surgery. The doctor said that even if it doesn't happen in the second half of its life, it is a high chance of being passed on to the next generation. Which parent is willing to get this disease? He is so worried that he will die of worry. Oh, I'll just listen to my parents tomorrow and find someone from another place to marry." Speaking of this, Xi Mansha's face became hot, "...uh, why would I tell you this? Is the car here?"
When I encounter pessimistic and unconfident, Teacher Xi and I have almost the same personality as me.
When I got home, I put the ancient porcelain pieces into the cabinet and turned around and went out again.
Uncle Wu’s ancient porcelain is well cared for. Without the stains of Uncle Zhou, he naturally doesn’t need 84 disinfectant to wipe it.
I was in a great mood. While I was sending text messages to Jiang Yan, I walked towards the Beijing Antiques City.
The reason why I first chose the Yuan blue and white fragments of Uncle Zhou and Uncle Wu, was that the order of TV programs a year later was that neither of them was professional in collecting them. They had the upper hand for the emotional components of the porcelain pieces and the acquisition was difficult. Then I chose the hardest bones to chew. Now both porcelain pieces have been obtained, and the stones hanging in my heart have fallen a little. The collection of the remaining fragments will definitely be much easier than the previous two pieces.
When I entered the antique city, I suddenly remembered the stake.
It seems that a good show is about to be staged in the past few days. Although I didn’t see it with my own eyes, it was a big stir at that time and no one didn’t know it. There is a nude photo door and a telephone door. When it happened here, everyone also gave me a humorous name - the cabinet door. I walked around the hall with a familiar door, but I couldn’t find the place where the incident happened. I thought I didn’t take it seriously, so I walked to a porcelain store.
The boss is a middle-aged woman with her surname Qian. I only met after watching TV a year later.
It is said that she bought the ancient porcelain pieces directly from Mr. Bai, and she has been placing them in the store without turning them back. After a long time, she sold them to Mr. Bai's son intact.
As soon as I entered the store, the glass booth with spotlights in the corner grabbed my eye. It was the fragment of Yuan blue and white.
Boss Qian was discussing business with a Taiwanese. After the man left, I pointed to the corner and asked, "What is the price of ancient porcelain pieces?"
She looked over there, "100,000." After that, she lowered her head and did her own thing, not very enthusiastic.
The program "Looking for Yuan Blue and White" does not specify how much the purchase price of Mr. Bai's son is. I can't tell it, but from a certain perspective, it is not too outrageous to be expensive for 100,000 yuan. This ancient porcelain is several times larger than the two pieces I collected together, and it is also the largest fragment of Yuan Blue and White.
The porcelain tiles are covered with five decorative layers, and the width is sufficient, wrapping a semicircular arc, showing most of the belly of the jar. Two complete blue and white flowers of 5CM, half of which is incomplete, with huge flowers, rolled up the petals, and clear layers. Eleven small flowers of 2CM, and some fine branches and fine lines are embellished, with bright glaze color, smooth lines, and exquisite painting.
Through a shelf, I savored the beauty of Yuan blue and white porcelain, "...Can it be cheaper? One hundred thousand is too expensive."
Boss Qian shook her head ignorantly and didn't say anything. I think she might prefer the porcelain piece, so she set a high price, which is best to sell. If she can't sell it, she can stay for viewing and playing.
I was a little hesitant. The first two pieces of fragments cost me more than 50,000 yuan. With this 100,000 yuan, the money earned from jade gambling stones was basically spent, which was probably not enough to collect the remaining porcelain pieces. But after a little hesitation, I still went to the counter of the Industrial and Commercial Bank outside to queue up. After waiting for nearly 40 minutes, I returned to the antique city with a bag worth 100,000 yuan. Alas, there was 200,000 yuan in the card last time, and I should have applied for a financial management card in advance. I remember that the minimum standard of ICBC is either 200,000 yuan or 300,000 yuan, so I don’t have to queue up to withdraw money every time.
When I returned to the porcelain shop, I flirted with the money on the glass counter in front of the boss Qian: "I want the Yuan blue and white porcelain pieces, please count them."
Boss Qian had a certificate for a long time and looked at me again. Maybe he didn't expect me, a student, to take out so much money. He calmed down and took out the envelopes and opened them. Each bag was walked twice on the billing machine. Soon, Boss Qian nodded and looked at me: "It's exactly 100,000."
I opened the lock with the key and took out the Yuan blue and white fragments. Boss Qian carefully helped me wrap it with newspaper silk cotton.
Before leaving, she handed me a piece of paper: "Little brother, this is my aunt's business card. I always contact you when I have time."
This is the first time I have been sent a business card. For a moment, I feel a little strange.
After dinner in the evening, I sneakily locked the door of the house and placed three pieces of Yuan blue and white on the mat one by one.
After working hard and comparing, the three pieces combined together reach about 50% of the whole Yuan blue and white pot.
