144 Dragon Robe
"We will hold the first auction item next, which is a dragon robe from Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty."
Cheng Lei proudly introduced to the microphone. As soon as he finished speaking, two young men carefully carried a one-person-high T-shaped clothes rack from the side room next to the main hall and walked up to the stage, and the dragon robe was neatly hung on the T-shaped clothes rack.
"It turned out to be a dragon robe that only the Supreme Master of Nine Five can wear. It seems that I am here right this time. The precious and alternative collection of dragon robes seems to be rare."
"I have seen one of the dragon robes in my friend's collection room. That dragon robe was presented as a treasure, and the overall integrity of the dragon robe is completely incomparable to the one in front of me."
"The first and finale of the black market auction are all good things. This dragon robe is definitely perfect, but I don't know if it's true?"
The moment the dragon robe, which was full of golden light, was displayed with the noble aura of the Royal Nine Five, caused a violent sensation below. Several people stood up unconsciously, stretched their necks, stared at them, and looked directly at the dragon robe, with a smudge in their mouths, and wished they could go on stage to inspect immediately.
Jiang Hao clearly noticed that many people present were beating wildly, and the blood flow speed was increasing dramatically. Everyone suppressed the excitement and communicated with the people with him. The voice was very small, but Jiang Hao could hear it clearly.
"It's true that it's worthy of being the black market, it's really beyond imagination."
Jiang Hao squinted his eyes and looked at the complete dragon robe hanging on the T-shaped clothes hanger. According to the knowledge of antiques that he remembered, the dragon robe is an alien among the unpopular collections of embroidery, and it seems to be very popular among Chinese collectors. The reason is very simple. The dragon robe is a symbol of royal honorary status. It is undoubtedly an extremely honorable thing to be able to collect a dragon robe.
As the rumors say, it is a place where all kinds of collections are even more daring to auction! Jiang Hao smiled slightly. He had rich knowledge of appreciating antiques, but he could not judge the authenticity by taking a look. However, with the appreciation technique in hand, appreciating the dragon robe is easy to grasp, and it is effortless to use it!
Cheng Lei looked at the crowd communicating below as excited as expected, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was very satisfied with the sensational effect caused by the display of dragon robe. Only those that someone liked can be competitive. It was his experience of hosting black market auctions over the years. He coughed lightly and reached out to press down. Seeing that everyone was quiet, he simply shouted: "I have already told the rules. You can only see but not touch them. Those who are interested can go on stage to check."
Hula!
As soon as Cheng Lei finished speaking, the sound of a messy chair moving and friction sounded from the audience. He had been waiting for a long time. Everyone who was eager to see them stood up and took a professional antique master specially hired for a lot of money. He walked up to the podium with antiques and palms with expectations. Jiang Hao and Jiang Yuan looked at each other, got up and walked towards the auction table.
Although Jiang Hao's proficiency in the identification technique has reached a full level, the identification technique continues to be strengthened with the use of the identification technique. It is like an incomplete black hole. The most significant manifestation of the improvement of the identification technique is that Jiang Hao completely got rid of the curse that only when touching the physical object can be identified, and can be identified from a distance.
However, the ability of the appraisal technique is still insufficient. The range of air-to-air identification is limited to a range within one meter of radius. If it exceeds the control range of this appraisal technique, it is impossible to perform appraisal. Jiang Hao clearly remembers that in "The Path of Romance and Fairy", the strongest appraisers can conduct air-to-air identification tens of thousands of miles apart to give the judgment results of items, and can also appreciate thousands of items at the same time.
Jiang Hao believes that it is not impossible to continue to increase the proficiency of appraisers in the game, so Jiang Hao got up to the auction table. He didn't want to give up any opportunity to increase proficiency!
The observers lined up in an orderly manner. According to regulations, each participant and the invited master of palm can stand in front of the dragon robe for three minutes. After each team went up, the master of palm would take out the identification tools they carried, observe the structure of the dragon robe conscientiously, and then leave the dragon robe with unsatisfactory intentions, and soon it was Jiang Hao's turn.
Jiang Hao and Jiang Yuan observed carefully at the same time. Based on the memory of the stuffed duck in their minds, they quickly lost the relevant knowledge of dragon robes. There are many types of identification of dragon robes. The main judgment is based on the texture, weaving method, and sparse density of warp and weft of weaving and embroidered dragon robes. You can also quickly judge the authenticity from the method of making dragon robes.
The production of dragon robe requires a special production technique from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This special embroidery technique is called kesi. This inherited ancient embroidery technique was once lost in China. It is said that a kesi product often takes more than ten processes, and the color adjustment and creation are even more cumbersome. It has become the highest level of weaving and embroidery. It is rare to see the inherited products of kesi. There is a saying that kesi is one inch of gold.
The kesi used for dragon robe is extremely costly and time-consuming, so it is not easy to imitate. If the counterfeiter really makes kesi, there is no need to fake it to make dragon robe!
There are also some common methods of judging, such as identifying the pattern distribution on the dragon robe, and the textures on the emperor's clothes are all particular. For example, the "Twelve Chapters" graphics representing different meanings on the dragon robe, and an important feature of the dragon robe is the five-clawed dragon texture representing the imperial power. These dragon-shaped textures are distributed on the waist, cuffs, and cloud collar.
“Identification.”
Jiang Hao glanced at the gorgeous dragon robe. All the authentic features that should be possessed were on the dragon robe. Judging by his own eyesight, it was an authentic product made in the year of Yongzheng. However, Jiang Hao was not sure of his own eyesight. In order to verify whether the guess was correct, Jiang Hao raised his hand, as if he did not arouse anyone's suspicion. He turned around in the air, and immediately made circles of identification waves like tracing waves in the center of his palm.
The identification wave quickly drilled into the dragon robe and made a quick judgment.
"Authentic product, made in the Yongzheng year."
The interface of the identification technique quickly popped up the judgment results, proving Jiang Hao's judgment of his eyesight. Jiang Hao's nose sniffed the odor in the air beside him, his face changed slightly, and he was not willing to stay for a moment, so he hurriedly walked off the stage and returned to the chair.
“What’s the result?”
Jiang Yuan carefully observed the dragon robe for a while before returning to his seat again. He turned his head and asked Jiang Hao. In addition to being proficient in the judgment of jade, he also had special research on the hidden collection of embroidery. He naturally had also dabbled in the dragon robe, but he was not very proficient, so he had to ask Jiang Hao. However, she did not expect that Jiang Hao would just take a rough glance and step down. He had to sigh that Jiang Hao's speed of identifying antiques was getting faster and faster.
“Authentic.”
Jiang Hao said in a voice that only two people heard, "There will be mistaken if there are too many words in the black market, and Jiang Hao naturally knows this truth because he found that people who have already made the judgment have been whispered to communicate with the people who came with him."
The main purpose of his accompanying Jiang Yuan today is to purchase porcelain and jade to prepare for the upcoming porcelain and jade competition and to increase his proficiency in the appraisal technique at will.
"Your identification is getting faster and faster."
Jiang Yuan breathed in envy. Even if his grandfather, who was proficient in antique appreciation, could not be able to make judgments faster than Jiang Hao's. Jiang Hao is simply an alien in the appreciation world.
"Don't I come down quickly!" Jiang Hao took a long sigh of smile and said in a low voice: "Didn't you smell the stench emitted from the dragon robe when you approached the dragon robe?"
"What's the smell?"
Jiang Yuan sucked his small and delicate nose hard. She thought that her nose was particularly sensitive, but she really didn't smell a stench when she got close to the dragon robe. Could it be that her nose was not as sensitive as Jiang Hao's?
"The corpse smells smelly!"
Jiang Hao slowly spit out two words, his hands smoothly down his surging chest. With his various skills constantly opening up, his organs became more and more sensitive. Although the dragon robe had been deodorized in a special way before the auction, it still could not hide Jiang Hao's sensitive sense of smell. The pungent corpse odor emitted on the dragon robe almost made him vomit.
This made Jiang Hao sigh at the power of the black market. According to the investigation and judgment of the investigation technique, the dragon robe neatly hung on the catwalk was probably still in the coffin to accompany the original owner to sleep in the coffin half a month ago!
"The corpse smells smelly!"
Jiang Yuan's sexy little mouth opened slightly, and his delicate little face behind the mask of a flowing butterfly showed disgust, but she was no longer surprised. As grandpa had taught before, if they were all regular antiques, why should they be sold on the black market? Many things in the black market are provided by active tomb robbers, and even many things were dug out of the tomb and sent to the black market for processing!
When Cheng Lei saw the last person who had finished reading returned to his seat, he glanced at the people who were talking in a low voice, opened a piece of paper on the dragon robe, looked at the auction amount given by the client on the paper, and said simply: "I believe everyone has read the things carefully, and they have the answer in their hearts. This dragon robe made in the Yongzheng year starts at 300,000 yuan, with an increase of no less than 5,000 yuan each time."
Jiang Hao clearly heard many conversations through the arranged monitoring channel. It has to be said that the eyes of the people who were looking at each other were very accurate. According to the overall dragon robe, it is a treasure worth collecting. After all, the dragon robe is no more than other objects. In ancient times, no one made a fake dragon robe. It was a rebellion that would destroy the nine clans, so the number of dragon robes in existence was very limited, and the appreciation space was very huge.
Cheng Lei’s starting price is not low in Jiang Hao’s opinion, but according to the standards for making dragon robes at that time, a dragon robes cost 1,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to about 140,000 yuan now. If the starting price of the dragon robes on the stage is low, someone probably won’t believe it!
Sure enough, as soon as Cheng Lei's starting price was revealed, the audience recalled the shouts one after another.
"320,000!"
"340,000!"
"350,000!"
"420,000!"
...
Chapter completed!
