"Miss Ming, this is the Kangxi Three Treasures Stove you want!"

"Authentic cloisonné enamel, an important national gift, please put it on your hands and eyes!"

At that moment, a fat guy came out carrying a huge wooden box and placed it carefully on the table.

When the wooden box was opened, a fragrance came out, and the bottom was wrapped in yellow silk, which looked very valuable.

As soon as it was opened, it attracted everyone's attention, and the surrounding guests also gathered around.

"What a beautiful incense burner. The patterns and carvings are top-notch. How much does it cost?"

"I heard that it is a royal weapon, and it is estimated to be worth tens of millions."

The onlookers started talking, obviously attracted by this thing.

Ming Qiulan was also a little happy. She didn't expect that the thing she ordered was so exquisite. It would definitely be honorable to give it to her grandfather.

Jiang Ge and Long Ye looked at each other and felt something was wrong.

Because since this fat pig-like guy arrived, the atmosphere suddenly became lively, and everyone watching around said a lot of good things.

This feeling is very flattering.

"Something is wrong. You see, although these people are praising something, they have a sense of exaggeration, and their eyes are not shocked by the beauty of the thing at all."

Lord Long whispered something to Jiang Ge.

"Do you suspect that these are the warm-up people, just putting on a show for this young lady?"

Jiang Ge nodded, also having some guesses.

There are many routines in the antique business. It is common to hire actors to enhance the atmosphere and create a sense of urgency for customers. Sometimes customers are still confused after paying and don't know how the deal was completed.

This was pushed up by the surrounding atmosphere.

There is such suspicion right now.

Ming Qiulan seemed even happier after hearing the compliments from the guests around her, but she didn't forget to check, so she looked at Jiang Ge and said, "Sir, please help me take a look. I don't quite understand."

"Who is this…?"

The fat man's eyes widened, a little surprised.

"Oh, this is the person I asked to help with my eyesight." Ming Qiulan replied.

"May I ask your surname and where you will stay?" The obese middle-aged man wanted to find out.

"Jiang Ge, I just joined the industry not long ago, and I just met Miss Ming in the lobby, so I was roped in to save the day." Jiang Ge is neither humble nor arrogant. He has no bottom line. This is a job that can offend others. There is no need to reveal his bottom line.

people.

The fat man also laughed when he heard this, and his worries suddenly disappeared, "Then please ask Mr. Jiang to palm the eyes, and I, Hou Xingyi, will be appointed as a Grade A treasure appraiser of Tonggufang."

"Nice to meet you!"

Jiang Ge made a fist, then picked up a pair of gloves and began to examine them.

This set of incense burners has the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The patterns and patterns complement each other. Due to being stained with incense ash for a long time, it has a strong scent of sandalwood.

The carcass is smooth and thin, the filigree lines are smooth, and the artistic taste is obviously inferior to that of the late Qing Dynasty, but it is still of high quality.

At the bottom were three copper legs, carved with dragons and phoenixes. It was indeed a palace style. He opened his red eyes and saw the strong aura of time wrapped around them. It was obvious that it had not been like this for hundreds of years.

"This Three Treasures Stove was brought back from Yingjiang Kingdom. It is a national treasure of the Qing Dynasty that was exiled. I spent a lot of effort to buy it back."

"The original owner, Viscount Carl, the down-and-out Viscount of the Eagle Kingdom, his ancestors were employees of the East India Company and participated in the invasion of the capital by the Eight-Power Allied Forces. This Three Treasure Stove was lost at that time."

"The origin of this item is clear, everything is well-documented, and it has been passed down for hundreds of years. There is no doubt that it is absolutely authentic."

With the help of Jiang Ge's palm, Hou Xingyi began to introduce the origin, his tone was calm, and he knew everything from his family's treasures.

But Jiang Ge didn't take it seriously at all. He looked carefully to himself, fearing that he would miss any loopholes.

Speaking of which, even if he has red pupils, he can't be 100% sure. Grandpa once said, "The eyes can be deceiving. Red pupils can only see the bottom but cannot help people make decisions. The Lord of Hell also sometimes loses focus."

"Mr. Jiang, are you sure? Is there any problem?"

At this time, Ming Qiulan couldn't wait any longer. She also put on gloves and gently touched this exquisite work of art.

Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times!

In this day and age, treasures as beautiful as this are hard to come by.

"Beautiful, so beautiful."

"This is it. My grandpa will definitely like it."

"This gift must be special!"

Ming Qiulan murmured to herself as she spoke, with little stars in her eyes.

Women usually can't resist beautiful things.

At this time, Lord Long also came closer, "Let me take a look!"

He was holding a pair of gloves and was about to put them on. He was obviously aware of it.

But Hou Xingyi stopped him and said, "This is a valuable item and no one other than the buyer is allowed to get it."

"This is my friend, and he's here to help me with my eyes." Ming Qiulan said quickly, eager for Lord Long to take action.

The fat man had no choice but to make a gesture of invitation.

"How's it going, Xiao Jiang, did you see anything?" Master Long asked.

"Still looking at it, not sure yet."

At this time, Jiang Ge already had an idea. He had almost been deceived by this thing just now. If Chitong hadn't found a small air bubble at the mouth of the furnace, he almost miscalculated.

Cloisonné enamel, also known as cloisonné.

Started during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, it is also known as copper-embedded filigree enamel, also called enamel.

On the made copper tire shape, use soft flat copper wires to cut into various patterns and weld them on them, then fill the patterns with colorful enamel dots, and finally put them into the furnace for firing. After they come out of the furnace, they will be polished and finally gilded.

become.

This piece of filigree enamel is very similar to the Qing Dynasty style in terms of production technology and level.

The moment he saw this Kangxi Three Treasures Furnace, Jiang Ge was also shocked by its beauty.

However, it was discovered that although the surface of this enamelware was exquisite, it actually had internal flaws. The craftsmanship of the entire inner ring was inferior to that of the outer ring. This was caused by immature craftsmanship in the embryonic stage, and such mistakes could not have occurred in the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty.

Even the slightest mistake will not make it a royal weapon.

However, to be on the safe side, he decided to take a closer look and find more evidence.

"This manufacturing level is obviously from the Qing Dynasty. It is not a high imitation, but it is also an old item. The degradation of modern filigree enamel technology may not necessarily reach such a standard."

"It should be genuine, let me check again!"

After some inspection, Mr. Long already had some idea in his mind.

Ming Qiulan next to her was even more happy when she heard this, and quickly asked, "Master Hou, how much does this thing cost?"

"I'm not sure about this, I have to ask the manager, but I guess it's not less than 10 million."

When Ming Qiulan finally asked about the price, Hou Xingyi was obviously excited, but he did not specify the price.

Some wealthy people nearby started talking after hearing this.

"It's only ten million, and it's still a treasure of palace enamel. I might as well take it."

"Manager Hou, why don't you sell it to me? I'll pay you 12 million."

"I want fifteen million."

The wealthy people around seemed very excited and seemed to be completely attracted by the beauty of this thing. Some newly arrived guests were also attracted here.

Ming Qiulan became anxious when she heard this, "Master Hou, hurry up and ask for the price. I gave it to grandpa for his birthday. You can't sell it to anyone else."

"Don't worry, you have the right of first refusal to purchase this item if you don't want to give it to anyone else."

Hou Xingyi quickly comforted Ming Qiulan, then looked at the people around him and said,

"Everyone, this item has been reserved by Miss Ming. I have other treasures in Tonggufang. If anyone likes enamelware, you can consult me ​​later."

After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs to inquire about the price.

Mr. Long next to him frowned again, feeling something was wrong.
