Chapter 308 The Story in the Antique
"This set of furniture has an unusual origin!
This was built by Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of Apocalypse! "When Zhang Junping leaned over to check the furniture, Uncle Feng was still talking about the story.

"Oh? Is this still a royal thing?" Zhang Junping said casually.

The charm of antiques lies in that each antique has a wonderful story, although most of the stories are made up, but it can't stand it.

Therefore, many people were fascinated by this story and were fooled.

Listening to stories also costs money.

"That's right, look, this material is authentic Hainan huanghuali material, and it's all made of big ingredients. This kind of material can only be found in the palace, but it can't be found outside."

"En!" Zhang Junping nodded noncommittally.

He only looked at a Eight Immortals table, which was a typical Ming Dynasty style, and the material was right, it was Hainan huanghuali.

It is an object with a wide open door, which is very well preserved, and the patina on it is very full and shiny.

This is the first piece of antique furniture that Zhang Junping has seen so perfectly preserved.

Yes, Zhang Junping didn't pay attention to the story told by Uncle Feng, all his mind was attracted by this perfect Eight Immortals table.

Zhang Junping is not afraid of revealing his love, let alone that Uncle Feng will demand a high price later.

It doesn't matter, it's not that I look down on Uncle Feng. In this age, if you try hard, how tall can you be?
"Uncle Feng, then the set of furniture you mentioned was made by Emperor Tianqi himself, so how did it come into your hands?" Jin Yongshun spoke up, and made a compliment to Uncle Feng.

"Then it's a long story to say, and I'm not afraid of your jokes, my ancestors were from the palace..."

"Can those in the palace have offspring?"

"I said, little Jinzi, do you really not understand or pretend you don't understand? Are you joking about Uncle Feng?
Xiao Jinzi, your ancestors were also relatives of the emperor. You should know that in those days, any eunuch with some power would not set up a foreign house?How many wives to marry and adopt a child? "Uncle Feng gave Jin Yongshun a very dissatisfied look.

In retaliation, Xiao Jinzi called it a fun.

"Uncle Feng, don't be angry, I'm not sure, I should be beaten!" Jin Yongshun accompanied him with a smile, and slapped himself in the face pretendingly.

"My family's ancestors are like this. New China is here. I'm not afraid of being ashamed of this. My family's ancestors are the chief eunuchs and eunuchs in the Tianqi Dynasty Palace." Uncle Feng said this with a sense of pride.

"Uncle Feng, the Supervisor of Rituals is the head of the Twelve Supervisors in the Inner Palace, known as the First Supervisor in the Inner Palace! Even the Deputy Chief Supervisor has more power than some other chief supervisors in the Inner Palace!

Your ancestors only left this set of furniture, and didn't leave you any other treasures? "Jin Yongshun cautiously inquired while praising Uncle Feng.

Zhang Junping only smiled secretly when he heard this, and continued to admire the two Hainan huanghuali armchairs next to the Eight Immortals table.

The armrest of the armchair has beautiful and smooth curves, and there is no redundant decoration on the whole body, which perfectly reflects the beauty of the material and lines of the furniture. Only the hollow decoration on the upper part of the backboard is carved with auspicious patterns.

The golden color exudes a sense of nobility.

Zhang Junping felt that he was already intoxicated by the charm of Ming Dynasty furniture, and the stories told by Uncle Feng could not move him at all.

Yes, in Zhang Junping's view, Uncle Feng is telling stories.

It is true that the Supervisor of Rituals was the head of the twelve supervisors in the Ming Dynasty, but the Supervisor of Rituals did not have a supervisor.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were twelve prisons, four divisions, and eight bureaus in the inner palace, with a total of 24 yamen.

The twelve supervisors are Sili Supervisor, Yuyong Supervisor, Yuma Supervisor, Si Shejian, Shangbao Supervisor, Jingong Supervisor, Shangshan Supervisor, Shangyi Supervisor, Yinshou Supervisor, Zhidian Supervisor, and Duzhi Supervisor.

The four divisions are Xixin Division, Baochao Division, Bell and Drum Division, and Huntang Division.

The eight bureaus are Bingzhan Bureau, Scarf and Hat Bureau, Needlework Bureau, Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, Wine and Vinegar Noodle Bureau, Siyuan Bureau, Huanyi Bureau, and Banking Bureau.

Among them, the person in charge of the ceremonial supervisor is the admiral, and there are eunuchs such as the palm seal eunuch, the pen eunuch, and the hall eunuch.

Moreover, the eunuch itself is a fourth-rank official position, not a collective name for certain people in the palace.

The chief of the inner palace and the deputy chief were official positions in the Qing Dynasty.

If it is said that Jin Yongshun is ignorant, he will make a joke of using the eunuch of the Qing Dynasty to make a joke of the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty.

Then Uncle Feng can only be said to be telling stories. What ancestor is the deputy director of the Rites Supervisor?

However, this set of Hainan huanghuali furniture in the Ming Dynasty is really good, even if it was not made by Emperor Tianqi himself, it will not affect its value at all.

That's why Zhang Junping didn't open his mouth, and let these two brag about each other's business.

Zhang Junping looked at the armchair silently, then turned to look at the screen.

This is also a set of Hainan Huanghuali Fu Lu Shou Xi screen, 245.5cm high, 150cm long, and 78cm wide.

The side of the screen is used as a large frame, and the center of the screen is separated by a sub-frame. The four sides are inlaid with openwork chi pattern sash ring plates. The base is carved with two thick woods to hold the drum piers, and the pillars are erected on it. .There are two horizontal cymbals between the upright columns, which are divided by short columns in the middle, and open-carved chi pattern tapestry ring plates are installed on both sides.The lower An horoscope is covered with water teeth, and the upper part is carved with chi patterns.

The center is inlaid with a marble embossed screen core, and the four animals of bats, sika deer, cranes and magpies are carved on the stone slabs quite vividly, with profound skills and absolutely famous handwriting.

Zhang Junping thought that his level of stone carving was a little worse than the reliefs on the four screens in front of him.

"How is it possible, my ancestors got a lot of good things out of the palace back then!

It's just that our descendants have failed to live up to expectations, and many treasures have not been preserved...

well!I am really ashamed of my ancestors! "Uncle Feng shook his head and sighed, he still had a feeling of sadness welling up in his heart as he spoke, his eyes were a little moist, "If it wasn't for the child's clamor to go abroad, I would not give it up..."

Zhang Junping took a look at the furniture in Uncle Feng's house. There are really a lot of things, and they are really good.

Eight Immortals tables, round chairs, coffee tables, corner tables, screens, official hat chairs, desks, bookcases, canopy beds, wardrobes, round stools...more than 20 pieces of furniture are perfectly preserved.

However, these are not the Ming Dynasty furniture that Uncle Feng mentioned, but imitated furniture during the Republic of China.

However, because it was imitated by the Republic of China, Zhang Junping had a reason to win.

"Uncle Feng, this set of imitation Ming-style furniture from the Republic of China is not bad. It is made of real materials. I like it very much. Would you like a price?" Zhang Junping directly pointed out the source of this set of furniture.

"Oh! As long as you like it, as long as you like it! If it's not for my child to go abroad, I can't sell it for any amount of money!" Uncle Feng's face changed, as if he didn't understand Zhang Junping's words, he was still reluctant expression.

"That's right! Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite. It is a big deal for children to go abroad. How much is this set of furniture that you are willing to give up?" Zhang Junping echoed with a smile and asked.
