Li Zhuo was really a little surprised.

First of all, the way the incense burner locks items this time is very different from before.

In the past, it flew in the air to lock it, but this time it transformed into a snake, and when it locked the item, it also entangled the item like a snake.

This surprised him. He didn't know if it was because the cigarettes were locked to items this time.

He was also surprised that the locked object looked like a modern tea cup.

Although he didn't know much about antiques, he knew that porcelain bowls and cups from ancient official kilns were very valuable.

But——

Are modern handicraft porcelain cups valuable?

When he was a child, he used to eat from rice bowls with patterns of flowers and plants and many teacups. He never thought they were strange or valuable.

Isn’t this thing just a few dollars apiece?

Li Zhuo was a little confused.

While he was thinking wildly, the incense burner sent him a message:

"The incense burner has locked a modern pen holder in the fields of Yushan Township, Fuyuan County. Please take back this item tomorrow and sell it as soon as possible."

Oh, it turns out this is a pen holder, no wonder it looks like a teacup without a handle.

And it is indeed modern, he was right about this.

A modern pen holder may be very valuable? After all, this thing is directly locked to the incense burner.

If it’s not valuable, it shouldn’t be selected, right?

No matter, I will find out when I search for it tomorrow.

Li Zhuo climbed into bed and slept in confusion.

Early the next morning, it was just dawn. Li Zhuo, who had been awake for almost two hours, got up and washed himself briefly, then went downstairs and got into the Mercedes-Benz G500 and set off.

Fuyang County is in the southwest of Hangcheng. If you drive, the distance is not far. It is about 50 kilometers from here to Fuyang County.

After arriving at the county seat, continue driving east for more than ten minutes and arrive at a place called Shuxi Village in Yushan Township.

Li Zhuo drove forward along the highway, which was close to the Fuchun River and was a standard land of plenty.

There are rice fields everywhere, rapeseed or vegetables are planted in a few fields, and hills lined with green trees stand in the distance.

The houses in the countryside are all in the style of small villas, which shows that the people here live a relatively prosperous life.

Li Zhuo turned a corner and drove along a country road until he reached a hill. At the foot of the hill, a small river meandered. Green bamboos lined the river. At this moment, a gentle and delicate woman wearing a cheongsam walked from the stone bridge.

Walking slowly on the road, leaving behind a beautiful figure.

It was very beautiful here. Li Zhuo parked the car on the side of the road, stood on the side of the road and looked at it quietly for a while, and then walked along a field path to a river.

Standing here, Li Zhuoneng could clearly sense the presence of the cigarette, which was not far away.

After making sure that there was no one around him, Li Zhuo walked down the river ditch, squatted down and pushed aside the floating soil, and dug out a very small pen holder from the soil.

It's really small. The height of this pen holder is only 12 or 3 centimeters, and it's made of porcelain.

There was a green-blue picture printed on the outer wall of the tube. Li Zhuo wiped away part of the soil and could barely see clearly. He found that there seemed to be a plant like a plum blossom painted on it, and an ugly bird stood on it.

.

Really, the bird’s eyes are weird, emitting a wise light, and it looks very smart at first glance.

Who painted it? It’s a bit ugly. Doesn’t this affect the selling price?

There seems to be a base at the bottom, but it's obscured by mud and can't be seen clearly.

At this time, he didn't have time to take a closer look, so Li Zhuo took out the tissue paper he had prepared, wrapped it up, and stuffed it into his pocket.

After that, he left here as if nothing had happened and walked along the field path back to his car.

There was no one to disturb the whole process and everything was quiet. Li Zhuo got into the car and felt much more relaxed.

Then he took the pen holder out of his pocket and put it into his backpack.

ok, done.

Li Zhuo relaxed, started the SUV, turned around, and drove toward Hangzhou against the path he had taken before.

When we arrived at the Sunshine Coast, it was just around 8 o'clock, which was very efficient.

Yesterday, we settled the matter of buying shares in the company. If you want to go to work, you can go. If you don’t want to go, you can’t go. This is a great feeling.

Li Zhuo felt relaxed and returned to his dormitory with his backpack.

After locking the door, he took the pen holder out of his backpack, took it to the bathroom, and rinsed it carefully under the faucet.

The sludge on it was quickly washed away, revealing the original texture of white glaze and green glaze, giving people a beautiful and delicate feeling.

Except the bird looks a little smart.

It has a base, and there is also the name of the craftsman on the outside corner of the pen holder.

...Dare to engrave his name on it, obviously this creator is very confident in himself, maybe it can be worth some money.

He had no idea about this thing, so he put the pen holder into the incense burner and looked at the estimate given by the incense burner.

This...

The price given for the incense burner was so high that Li Zhuo began to doubt his own IQ.

After confirming the price, Li Zhuo sent a message to teacher Jin Zixu, asking when he would be free and if he had anything to look at, he could see it.

It wasn't until half past nine that Jin Zixu replied:

"There are classes in the first and second periods in the morning. They just ended. Come to the teahouse in front of the school as soon as possible. I will be there in a minute."

Li Zhuo replied:

"Okay, thank you."

Then, he put the pen holder into his backpack, went downstairs, got in his car, and headed straight to Cangqian Street, Yuhang District.

Half an hour later, Li Zhuo entered the tea room carrying his bag.

Jin Zixu is already sitting in the corner of the second floor of the tea room.

When I saw Li Zhuo coming, I poured him a glass of water.

"Drink tea! What good things did you bring today?"

Li Zhuo took out the pen holder from his backpack and handed it to Jin Zixu:

"The things are good, but the price may be relatively high."

After Jin Zixu got this pen holder, he turned around and looked at it twice, then looked at the bottom and side parts, and said in surprise:

"This thing is a modern blue and white porcelain handicraft. It is painted with crabapples and big tits. The bottom inscription is 'Want to hear the story of my passing' and the side inscription is 'Wang Bu'. If this thing is really created by Wang Bu, it would be valuable.

."

"Who is Wang Bu?"

Teacher Jin replied:

"Wang Bu is known as the king of modern blue and white. His water-dividing technique for blue and white painting is unparalleled in the world. He also creatively uses the 'iron line drawing' brushwork. His attainments are so high that it can be said that he directly revolutionized the porcelain painting of the Qing Dynasty and created a new trend.

He is a very influential figure in this field."

"When was he from?" Li Zhuo asked again.

"If I remember correctly, he mainly lived in the 20th century and died in 1968. He was a figure from the Republic of China to the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Most of his fine works were produced after the founding of the People's Republic of China, such as your work."

"This piece of mine should be a handicraft, right? After all, it is a product after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but why is it valuable?"

"Indeed, it is not a cultural relic and does not date enough, but Wang Bu's works are really sought after by the collectors because his works represent the highest level of modern blue and white.

Let me tell you this, look at the two characters "Wang Bu" on the margin of this painting. As long as his works have these two characters on them, the price will not be less than 3 million."

Li Zhuo was really surprised and asked:

"Why? Is a model so important?"

"Of course, because of one of the characteristics of Wang Bu's works, only his middle and later works will have this inscription, and none of his early works will have this inscription.

The middle and later periods are the peak period of his creation. For example, the large-scale works he created in the later period are basically sold at auctions at home and abroad for more than 10 million, with the most expensive ones costing 30 million."

You can understand it this way, although it is a handicraft, but the quality is high and there are many people who like it, the price has always been high.

"Is this pen holder of mine real?" It must be real, but Li Zhuo still has to ask this question.
Chapter completed!
