Chapter 157 I want to trade with you

The old man saw Susie's embarrassment and said embarrassedly: "I was the one who was abrupt."

"This is not a place to see things either."

Susie nodded, "Then if you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first."

The old man stared at the wooden box in Susie's hand, obviously very reluctant to part with it. He suddenly said: "I like the blue and white underglaze red bottle in your hand very much. I also have a lot of collections at home, all of which are fine. I can

Do you think it would be okay to exchange it with you for other things?"

When Susie heard this, she pondered in her mind, did the old man really want to exchange things with her or did he have some other idea?

Seeing Su Qian's hesitation, the old man quickly waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I used to be a professor in the History Department of Lian Province University."

"If you don't like my things and don't want to change them, I will never force you. We can just communicate with each other."

Logically speaking, ignoring the old man and leaving quickly is the right choice.

After all, people are unpredictable, who knows what this old man has in mind.

However, Susie always felt that the old man was not a bad person, and she was also a little curious about what the old man had collected in his home.

Ever since she picked up the pink tourmaline bracelet a few days ago, Susie has become a little more confident in her luck. She believes in her intuition that the old man is not a bad person.

Susie asked the old man, "Where is your home? Is it far away?"

When the old man heard that Su Qian meant that she was willing to go home with him, he smiled happily, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out, "My surname is Zhong, and my home is inside Lian Province University. It is the school's dormitory."

Susie felt even more relieved when she heard this. It seemed that he was really an old professor.

She also became interested and wanted to see the old man's collection, "Let's go then."

Su Qian followed Professor Zhong and took the bus to Lian Province University.

Lian Provincial University still does not have the style of a key university in later generations. The gate is inconspicuous and the buildings look a bit old.

Susie followed Professor Zhong through the campus. There were not many students coming and going in the school. She passed through the teaching area and walked for a while before arriving at the teachers' dormitory area.

There are rows of bungalows here, and there are small vegetable plots in front of the bungalows.

Susie followed Professor Zhong to the front of a room, and the old man took the key and opened the door.

Susie was a little shocked as soon as she entered. There were books everywhere in the room, the bookshelves were full, and there were many books piled on the tables and chairs.

Although there are many books, they are by no means cluttered, and each one is neatly placed.

Professor Zhong took Susie to a room at the back.

There is a bedroom here. There is only one pillow on the bed, and there are many books neatly placed on one side of the bed.

Professor Zhong bent down and pulled out a large camphor box with iron wheels from under the bed.

He opened the box, and Susie saw pieces of utensils wrapped in newspapers, which looked like vases, jars, plates, etc.

The old man bent over and took out the top piece and opened the newspaper carefully.

Susie first put down the boxes and bags in her hands and moved a chair for Professor Zhong, "Sit down, take your time, don't rush."

Professor Zhong smiled at Su Qian, pointed to the things in the box and said, "These things have been my collection for many years. You are indeed blessed today."

He opened the newspaper and revealed a red-glazed vase inside. The single red color was so pure that Susie couldn't help but say: "What a beautiful porcelain."

Professor Zhong said proudly: "It's beautiful. This is a Lang Kiln red-glazed bile vase fired in the Kangxi year. Look at the color. It's bright red under natural light, but turns into deep purple under strong light."

Professor Zhong said as he took a flashlight and shined the light on the bottle. As expected, the glaze color became darker.

Professor Zhong put the bottle on the bed and opened the next item.

This is also a piece of porcelain. Professor Zhong didn’t need to tell her. Susie knew what it was, a pastel gourd vase.

On the pure white background, there are pink peonies, green leaves, yellow and blue butterflies, and the colors are rich and layered.

The old man turned the gourd bottle over and showed it to Su Xi. It was made in the Qianlong year of the Qing Dynasty.

Another piece of official kiln porcelain.

Then the old man opened everything in the alley.

There are plates, bowls, wine bottles, and porcelain pillows. Almost everything is of high quality.

There was one last item in the box. Professor Zhong unwrapped the newspaper and opened a large blue and white can with figures.

Professor Zhong said: "This is Yuan blue and white. You can see that its body is thick, heavy and the shape of the vessel is large."

"The color is obviously Su Ma Li Qing, and the color is indigo. If you look closely, it's a bit purple."

Susie listened carefully and watched carefully. These things that Professor Zhong said casually were very valuable knowledge to her. She wanted to collect antiques, but she was worried that she had no place to learn this knowledge.

Professor Zhong, who may not have given a lecture for a long time, talked about many key points of porcelain appreciation with great enthusiasm. Susie tried her best to remember, but she only regretted that she did not have a recording pen.

Professor Zhong talked for a long time and felt embarrassed, "Look at me, I have an occupational disease. I can't stop talking about these things."

He pointed to the large and small porcelain on the bed and said, "You can choose whatever you want here."

Su Qian was a little hesitant. Professor Zhong's things were very good, especially this Yuan blue and white jar. She liked it as soon as she saw it.

However, she also likes the pastel gourd vase from the Yongzheng period.

The Langyao red bottle was also very good, but she didn’t know which one to choose.

She now understands Professor Zhong a little bit. When she sees good things, she really wants them.

Professor Zhong became a little anxious when he saw her silence. Susie's vase was big, and the things he had here, even the Yuanqinghua jars, looked smaller than that.

The size of the porcelain also has some impact on the price.

Professor Zhong saw that Su Qian was silent and thought she was unwilling. He thought for a moment, "Well, I really like this blue and white bottle with red underglaze. The main reason is that I don't have this type of collection yet."

He paused and said with some pain: "If you want, you can pick two pieces and exchange them for this one."

Susie raised her eyes, two pieces?

Not to mention anything else, the Yuan blue and white jar is definitely more expensive than her blue and white underglaze red flower vase.

After all, she has participated in many auctions. Although she has never seen it with her own eyes, she has heard from many people that a Yuan blue and white Guiguzi Xiashan porcelain jar once sold for an unimaginably high price.

Professor Zhong's Yuan blue and white jar is also a jar with figures. The character picture on it is Zhaojun going out of the fortress. Su Qian estimates that if it is really put up for auction in the future, it will probably be no less than the Guiguzi Xiashan porcelain jar.

Susie had already assigned this blue and white jar to her side in her mind, and then her eyes wandered among the porcelain on the bed.

Although Professor Zhong was a little anxious, he still waited patiently for Susie to choose.
