Recycled Porcelain [Ancient Wears Today]

It was a rare fun play, although Jiang Xin really wanted to go crazy, but after the next day's itinerary was over in his heart, he still controlled himself not to go too far.

It's because Xu Jiuzhao's physical exercise is getting better and better, so that he can wake up the next day like a normal person.His shoulders gradually thickened, and his chest firmed up.Even the muscles on the legs and arms are also exercised very vigorously, and occasionally doing difficult movements is not a problem.

During this trip, apart from really wanting to take Xu Jiuzhao to experience exotic customs, Jiang Xin also wanted to help Xu Jiuzhao gain more inspiration and help him create works for the exhibition.

Since the topic is a thoroughly emotional one, Jiang Xin planned to let Xu Jiuzhao watch more modern art works.

He and Xu Jiuzhao visited museums in Brussels and saw many works of art.These works include paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and various models, which opened Xu Jiuzhao's eyes.

They stayed in Belgium for three days, and then went to France, where they visited the Musée d'Orsay and the Louvre Museum. Apart from these, they also took Xu Jiuzhao around several famous art buildings.

Turning around like this, Xu Jiuzhao has long understood Jiang Xin's intentions.He was so moved that he didn't know how to express it in words.

After lunch that day, Jiang Xin was flipping through the itinerary on his phone, and Xu Jiuzhao, who was sitting across from him, said, "Ah Xin, it's rare to come to France, why don't we go to the art market? Maybe we can buy it Order something good."

Jiang Xin looked up at him in surprise: "Do you want to go to Taobao?"

Xu Jiuzhao looked at him tenderly, and said softly: "These days you are just visiting the art museum with me, we should look at it in a different way. The days to come are still long, and there are so many art museums, we can take our time. "

This kind of words that heralded a happy future hit Jiang Xin's heart all of a sudden, his throat was blocked, he swallowed and said: "Okay, let's come back later, take your time."

Xu Jiuzhao smiled and said, "Well, don't worry."

Jiang Xin's heart was full of happiness bubbles, her chest was so full that she was about to float.

Paris is a city with a particularly strong artistic atmosphere, and the art market is also very prosperous. There are four major flea markets here, similar to Panjiayuan and Liulichang in China, and they are very famous places for shopping.

Jiang Xin walked along the street with Xu Jiuzhao enthusiastically. The flea market was on both sides of the road, even across several streets.In addition to the small vendors on the side of the road who only set up stalls on fixed days and times, there are also specialized thrift shops in the small alleys, and these places are also good places to find antiques.

Of course, like the domestic antique market where good and evil are mixed, these small shops are mixed with real and fake, and it is difficult to distinguish good from bad. There are also many fakes of "hina" in recent years, which have caused many uninformed people to suffer and be fooled.

Jiang Xin is an antique dealer, and Xu Jiuzhao is proficient in ancient porcelain. Naturally, these two people know the truth of looking more and buying less.

Walking into a shop with an unremarkable appearance, Xu Jiuzhao was shocked.From the window, the inside of this small shop is dark, and the window is filled with a wide variety of antiques, but when you walk in, you can see that this shop is full of antiques from China.

Among them are bronze wares, ancient jade wares, clocks and watches, porcelain wares, ancient armors, and even famous daggers with rust, whose authenticity is unknown.

"Happy to drink and come." There was an authentic Chinese voice from inside the shop. Xu Jiuzhao thought the shop owner was a Chinese, but he turned out to be a foreigner.

"..." Xu Jiuzhao glanced at him blankly, "You speak Chinese really well."

"Thank you." With plump cheeks and an appearance of amiable wealth, the foreign boss said with a smile: "If you like anything, just look at it. I have good things here, and there is no deception."

"Okay." Nodding politely, Xu Jiuzhao turned around and looked at the goods in the store on his own. It is different from the service introduced to customers in China. In these stores abroad, it is more natural. Customers watch and choose by themselves, and the boss will only serve people at the end.

This store is actually not big, it looks shocking because the space utilization rate in the store is very high, from the window at the door, to the wall, and even the roof.

Xu Jiuzhao raised his head. The shop had a row of shelves near the roof, and it was filled with exquisite blue and white porcelain. Those blue and white porcelains were all placed in copper-yellow exquisite shelves, which looked magnificent and exquisite.It makes people very eager to buy.

Facing the door is a glass cabinet with a height of one person, which contains some fragmentary exhibits, all of which are small objects.There are bracelets, pendants, jade pendants, seals, pen holders, jade belt buckles, snuff bottles... Jiang Xin seems to be very interested in those, and she is bending over to look at them.

Xu Jiuzhao's eyes swept over him, and then he looked at a shelf on the side, and there was a display board that attracted him.The exhibition board was placed on the first floor alone, and the position was particularly upright and conspicuous.

Xu Jiuzhao walked over to pick up the display plate. This display plate is a very typical export porcelain style. The picture is full of paintings, and the surrounding decorations are simple. A bird chasing head to tail.The pattern on the edge of the plate is very smooth, and there is an inscription of "Yongzheng Year of the Great Qing Dynasty" on the back when it is turned over.

Seeing him picking it up to look at it, Boss Yang introduced to him: "This porcelain plate has a history of more than 200 years. It was originally collected by a French noble family. You have seen it too. It came across the ocean. It was from that time. Aristocrats like to collect this kind of porcelain plates to decorate their homes. Some noble manors even have special porcelain rooms filled with high-grade porcelain imported from China. However, during the French Revolution, this noble family was killed. The servants of the family stole the porcelain plate and ran out. His descendants didn’t know how to collect it, so they sold the porcelain plate for money, which made the blue and white plate fall into the market.”

Xu Jiuzhao smiled and looked over and over with the porcelain plate in his hand. Jiang Xin came over and asked in a low voice, "Do you like this?"

Xu Jiuzhao just laughed, but didn't speak, and then put down the porcelain plate.Boss Yang regretted it for a moment, and then he was drawn to Jiang Xin's attention.

Jiang Xin held a jade pendant half the size of a palm in his hand, and a snuff bottle with inside painting.

Without waiting for Boss Yang to tell him a story, Jiang Xin asked how much it was.

Such straightforward tourists are rare, and the foreign boss happily quoted the price directly: "The jade pendant is 2000 Euros, and the snuff bottle is cheaper at 500 Euros."

Although this foreign boss runs a shop of antiques all over China, it does not mean that he is a person who is proficient in Chinese antiques. It is entirely because of the increase in Chinese customers over the years that he switched to this business.To make money from tourists.

Therefore, the starting point of his asking price is very characteristic.The price of jade pendants is not based on the age and appearance, but on the value of jade.The same is true for snuff bottles. All the snuff bottles here are the same price.

Jiang Xin's face was light, unable to tell whether she was happy or unhappy, she just nodded.

"Can I swipe my card?"

Without a word, the foreign boss took out a POS machine that can swipe bank cards, and happily converted it into RMB to complete the transaction.Jiang Xin went to the boss and asked for a reusable bag to put two things in it. The corner of the boss's eyes twitched because of his not so cherished local tyrant, and he regretted why he didn't ask for more.

"Is there anything you want?" Jiang Xin came over and looked at Xu Jiuzhao.

Xu Jiuzhao said: "I don't like anything, have you bought it?"

"Well, let's go." Jiang Xin held Xu Jiuzhao's hand naturally, and they walked out of the store hand in hand.

After walking outside for a while, Xu Jiuzhao laughed.

Infected by his laughter, Jiang Xin smiled and asked him: "What did you see, so happy."

Xu Jiuzhao laughed so hard that his eyes curled up: "I laugh at that boss who is too good at talking nonsense with his eyes open, just like those antique dealers in China. He tells stories when he buys things, and even makes them up like the real thing."

Xu Jiuzhao seldom smiles like this, which makes this smile more precious.

"What's wrong with the porcelain plate?" Jiang Xin asked while looking at his smiling face.

"There are too many problems. The style is from the Ming Dynasty, the signature is from the Qing Dynasty, the materials are from the Republic of China, and the workmanship is modern. Tell me, are there many problems?"

Just now Jiang Xin didn't pay attention to the porcelain plate at all, and she was happy after hearing Xu Jiuzhao's words.

"This imitation is too unintentional!" Jiang Xin shook his head, "Whoever buys it back at a high price, but gets such a conclusion of 'fun you', will have to cry."

Xu Jiuzhao smiled on his lips: "What about you, I see you bought two things."

"Hey." Jiang Xin smiled as cunningly and proudly as a stealing cat, and he took the things out of the recycle bag and handed them to Xu Jiuzhao: "Look at them, they are all old things."

Xu Jiuzhao held the two items in his hand and looked at them. The jade pendant was about 8 centimeters in length, and it looked gray and not very clear, while the landscape paintings inside the snuff bottle were flowing like clouds and flowing water.

"What's the name?" Xu Jiuzhao took a quick look and thought the snuff bottle was very beautiful, but since Jiang Xin bought the jade pendant back, it showed that the jade pendant was definitely not simple.

"The snuff bottle is the work of an interior-painted snuff bottle master in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. It has a signature. It can be sold at a good price in Boguxuan. The key point is this jade pendant. This jade pendant is a good thing."

Xu Jiuzhao looked at the jade pendant carefully.This jade pendant is in the shape of double cranes holding a mushroom, and the whole jade pendant is openworked.Ordinary jade pendants are carved on the jade surface in order not to waste the jade material. It is rare to take out the jade material inside like this without sparing the cost.

Jiang Xin looked at Xu Jiuzhao affectionately and said: "This pair of cranes with Ganoderma lucidum in their mouths, intersecting head and tail, and flying together, is a rare theme with a beautiful meaning. This style and characteristics only appeared among the nobles of the Jin Dynasty. Like This kind of beautiful theme that is a metaphor for the beauty of love is even more rare. Now it is gray because of poor preservation. In fact, the jade pendant is Hetian jade, and the quality of the jade is not bad. I plan to go back and re-plate it to reproduce its brilliance .And then, I'll hang it on the rearview mirror in your car, okay?"

Jiang Xin was like a confession in public, making Xu Jiuzhao blush.

"Okay, stay calm. This is still on the street outside." Xu Jiuzhao lowered his eyes, desperately restraining the heat on his face, "Wait, wait until we get back to the hotel..." said.

France is a very open country. Xu Jiuzhao also witnessed two men kiss openly, but it was too shameful for him as an old man.

Fortunately, Jiang Xin knew that he was conservative, so she just held his hand.

Back to the hotel?Again?

Jiang Xin's thoughts were completely wrong, and his blood boiled immediately. He dragged Xu Jiuzhao straight to the taxi.

This night, passion and excitement are indispensable, Jiang Xin feels more and more that he is right to squeeze Wu Miao, and feels that going abroad this time is as sweet and happy as going on a honeymoon.

In the middle of the night, Xu Jiuzhao got up at night, and he passed the window inadvertently when he came back from the bathroom.

Jiang Xin chose the viewing room, the Seine River is outside the window, the lights at night and the dark sparkling river water are extraordinarily enchanting and beautiful.

For a moment, Xu Jiuzhao was thoughtful.
