"Don't listen to your mother's nonsense, she is just jealous -" Qu Zhongdong opened the door curtain and came out of the house, grinning almost to the base of his ears. He felt proud in his heart, "Come on, come on, show me to grandpa." , Oh, it looks so real, the teeth in the mouth are very distinct, there is a collar around the neck, the tips of the ears are up, and the tail is curled into a triangle, so cute, how cute is this!"
"Ha!" Yue Cuiyun sneered.
"Let me tell you, there is no child in the world who is more filial and considerate than Guabao. This gift is really deep in my heart..." Qu Zhongdong seemed not to hear, and took the little Tao dog away. I held it in my hand and looked at it over and over again. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it. My eyebrows almost flew up with joy.
"Ha!" Yue Cuiyun sneered again.
"It's not like you don't know that in our house, Guobao is the best friend to you! If I didn't buy it for you this time, it must be because I didn't find the little pottery mouse, right, Guobao?" Although Qu Zhongdong thought that Guabao was the best in his heart. He was the best friend, but he couldn't tell the truth right now because he was afraid that the old woman would be so angry that she wouldn't be able to eat.
"Hmm, I've been looking for it for a long time -" Xiao Qu Ning nodded repeatedly, her cheeks bulging slightly, her innocent and cute appearance, "I just couldn't find it, but it's okay, I will make up a little mouse for grandma tomorrow!" You can't say that I'm partial, I, grandpa and grandma are all the best!"
"Okay, okay, our dear baby is the most fair!" Yue Cuiyun didn't bother to vent her anger with Qu Zhongdong, she just nodded in agreement. Then she knelt down, gently pinched the flesh on Xiao Qu Ning's cheek, and grinned happily, "Then grandma is waiting for the little mouse that Guabao made up."
"Then I -" Of course Qu Changhu had something to say. Guobao also couldn't find the little pony. To be fair, shouldn't he make up a pony for him?
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Yue Cuiyun shot him back, and his little calculation was in vain, "What? You still want me to braid a pony for you?! You are so beautiful! You also said that I love my dear the most, but in the end, it turned out to be all day long. I know how to find trouble for my dear baby, but I'm afraid I won't tire her out..."
Qu Changhu: You weren’t the one who told Guobao to make up mice? ?
Of course, he was just thinking about this in his mind, but what he said was something else, "Mom, why don't I love my baby anymore? You can't say it in front of her. What if she takes it seriously?" Do it!! I didn’t ask Guobao to knit a pony for me. I came in just to get a feather duster. There’s a layer of dust on those books..."
How should I put it? His words were at best half true and false, but the topic just stopped here.
"Dad, why don't you wash the little pottery dog? There is dust in the ditches and cracks, and you can't even wipe it clean!" After getting the feather duster, Qu Changhu asked a lot.
Although there is a layer of dust on the little pottery dog, it can still be seen that it is glazed. Can this be washed directly with water? ! Qu Zhongdong was a little doubtful, "What if it gets damaged after washing? This is what Guobao specially picked for me..."
"It should be fine. I haven't heard that pottery can't pass water?" Qu Changhu thought for a while and thought it was OK, but he didn't say too much, "Didn't we still use pottery pots to boil water here before? Are you coming? It’s not bad!”
"Okay, let's go outside and wash up." Qu Zhongdong thought for a while and realized that this was really the case.
When they got to the yard, Qu Zhongdong brought a big iron basin over, scooped out more than half of the basin of water, and then carefully placed the pottery pot, porcelain cup, pottery chicken and little pottery dog that Xiao Qu Ning had brought back inside, and lifted it up with a The water came to wash away the dirt in the gap, and Yue Cuiyun and Xiao Quning also came out to help him clean it. As for those books, Qu Changhu was busy alone.
The little pottery dog was the first one to be washed out. It really has a glaze color on its body. It looks a bit mossy green, but also a little light. It has a pair of round dog eyes, and its canine teeth are very distinct, with four short strips. The legs are straight upright, and the little toes are fat and bulging, so cute. The pottery chicken is still dusty after being washed, but the details of the comb, wings, beak and tail are particularly delicate and lifelike.
Washing the dirty pottery is the most labor-intensive, but after rinsing, it looks quite nice. A lotus pattern separates the upper and lower parts of the belly. The lower half is whitened, while the upper half is made of yellow-green colored pottery with tangled branch patterns engraved on it. It is fresh and elegant. But when it comes to the feel, it has to be the small porcelain cup. It is delicate to touch, soft and moist, and small and light in appearance. The pattern on the cup is brightly colored, with a neatly painted picture of a whole family of chickens, and Flowers and flowers.
"Hey, there are words on the bottom of the cup!" As she got older, Yue Cuiyun was very fond of bright colors. No, she couldn't bear to let go of the Chicken Family Cup. She turned it over and over to look at it, and she discovered it. The words on the bottom of the cup.
"Grandma, let's take a look, I know a lot of words!" Qu Ning's little heart beat harder. There are words, but you have to look carefully. Maybe they are antiques.
"Okay, okay, show me, my dear, our dear, you can be considered a little educated person!" Of course Yue Cuiyun agreed wholeheartedly, laughing as he talked, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes almost squeezing into one spot.
"Da, Ming, Cheng Huanian..." Qu Ning's eyes widened and her mouth opened. She couldn't believe what she saw. Close your eyes, raise your hand and rub it three times on the left and three times on the right, wink, and then open it again, the same words are still in front of you.
Sent, sent!
Xiao Qu Ning almost jumped three feet high with joy.
"What's the Ming Dynasty?" Just at this time, Professor Liu came in from outside with a basket of vegetables. These tomatoes, loofahs, eggplants, etc. were packed in when he went out for medical treatment, and he couldn't push them away.
"Guobao bought a few clay pots and cups from the waste recycling station. Well, there is a word on the bottom of this Chicken Family Cup, which says Ming Dynasty Chenghua Year System..." Qu Zhongdong replied to Professor Liu smoothly. He did know that there was a Ming Dynasty, but he didn't think about it at all.
"What kind of Chicken Family Cup?! This, this may be a colorful chicken cup, made during the Chenghua Period of the Ming Dynasty!" Professor Liu went crazy when he heard the words 'Ming Dynasty Chenghua Year' , the bag of vegetables in his hand fell to the ground, and then he rushed forward in three steps and two steps at a time. He wanted to take the cup and take a closer look, but his hands couldn't live up to expectations and kept shaking.
It's also a chicken family cup. If people in the Ming Dynasty heard about it, they would be so angry that they would cheat.
"What? It's really from the Ming Dynasty?!" Qu Zhongdong covered his chest. He felt that this was a bit exciting.
Professor Liu had no time to talk to him. At this moment, he finally got the object that was suspected to be a chicken cup. How dare he be distracted anymore? His eyes didn't even blink, and he wanted to stick to it. on this cup. He looked back and forth for about ten minutes without saying a word, which made everyone anxious for the answer.
"How is it? Isn't it?"
"What kind of cockfighting tank is that?"
"It's the Mingchenghua Doucai Chicken Cup..." What a cockfighting cup, isn't this nonsense! After correcting the title, Professor Liu continued: "When it comes to identification, I can't do it. After all, I am not studying this. Every line is like a mountain. But I have an old friend who is an expert in this field. He once told me about fighting in detail. I have also seen the original colorful chicken bowl cup in the Huaguo Museum... I think it is almost the same!"
"But to be on the safe side, you still need to find professionals to help you -" Professor Liu regarded Qu Zhongdong's family as his relatives, and what he said was all heartfelt, without any concealment, "But right now, it's not At that time, my opinion is to keep it well first and then find someone to identify it later.”
"Well, you're right, just do it." Of course Qu Zhongdong believed Professor Liu. To be honest, taking the cup now, he felt that it was no different from holding a gold mountain. It was an object of the Ming Dynasty. Big baby, this is it. But as soon as he thought about it, he remembered the other three items in the iron basin, and hurriedly asked Professor Liu to take a look, "Come on, come on, help me take a look at these three items and see where they come from?"
This stumped Professor Liu. He really couldn't tell the specific origins of these three pieces, but judging from his half-assed skills, looking at the shape, glaze color, craftsmanship, etc., they should be older than the Doucai Chicken Cup. It's older, especially the little pottery dog, which looks very similar to the late Han Dynasty green glazed pottery dog in the Chinese Museum, in every sense of the word.
"I'm not sure of the specific year, but judging from the craftsmanship, shape of the vessel, etc., it could be around the Han Dynasty, or at the latest the late Tang Dynasty... Just keep it safe." Professor Liu was numb, so he went there casually Those who buy some cups and cans from the waste recycling station are treasures. People are really incomparable! Despite being numb, he still had at least some curiosity, so he asked Xiao Qu Ning, "How much did you spend on these four pieces?"
"Uh... let me calculate, the pottery pot costs two cents, the pottery dog, pottery chicken and this chicken pot cup cost a total of two cents." Xiao Qu Ning remembered clearly, she made two 2 cents to Professor Liu in succession. The posture, the little mouth was grinning, the two rows of white teeth were fully exposed, and the face became red.
Two cents, four treasures for two cents? ! ! !
This isn't shopping at all, it's just pie in the sky!
Professor Liu couldn't hold back, and stretched out his hand to rub the top of Xiao Qu Ning's hair, thinking: I can get some luck by doing this...
"My dear, your grandparents will keep these four treasures for you, and they will return them to you when you grow up. Then you can do with them what you want." Before putting away these four pieces of pottery and porcelain, Qu Zhongdong said I told Xiao Qu Ning.
"It's not four pieces, it's two pieces. The little pottery dog has been given to grandpa, and the pottery chicken is going to be given to aunt." Xiao Qu Ning has her own persistence. It was agreed before that she would give it away.
"You heard what your Grandpa Liu said, these may be treasures——" Qu Zhongdong thought that Xiao Qu Ning didn't know how valuable the so-called treasures were, so he explained to her, "If they are all true, maybe It’s a national treasure, the kind that no one can buy with a lot of money, how can you give it to us?”
"I know!" Xiao Qu Ning nodded, "Grandpa Liu told me a priceless story. If these four items were treasures, they would be priceless, right?"
"Yes, that's the word. Guobao, you are so awesome!" Qu Zhongdong didn't forget to praise Xiao Qu Ning at this time.
"But these treasures can't compare to grandpa and aunt!" At this moment, Xiao Qu Ning smiled like a flower. She said this completely from the bottom of her heart. In her heart, family is always the most important thing, and she has no shortage of treasures.
